MC/ServiceGuard installation problems

[Subramanian_2]

Hi,
I have obtained the MC/ServiceGuard software from HP. But I am yet to get the requisite manuals. Can some help me with the installation steps?

I have the following files:-
MCServiceGuard-11.00-SEP03sw.depot MCServiceGuard-11.23-SEP03sw.depot
MCServiceGuard-11.11-SEP03sw.depot

I tried installing using swinstall, but it failed saying that the depot files did not exist. Please find the details below.

Really sorry if they look clumsy.

Hi,
From your post:

"/usrhome1/adroot/.sw/sessions/swinstall.last".
ERROR: "INHYL1H3:/": 1 filesets have a version with a higher
revision number already installed


That means you already have some filesets related to service guard installed on your system. If you are sure about the Service guard package and its version then execute swinstall with setting the reinstall option to true. OR you can uninstall the existing MC SG package & continue with the installation.

Hope that helps.

Hi Subramanian,

Do

swlist -l product |grep -i serviceguard

and note the version.

Then do

swlist -l product @/tmp/MCSer
Guard-11.00-SEP03sw.depot

and note the version there too.

Looks like you have a better version than what you downloaded.
