Retrofitting Service Guard..

[AIMC]

Hi All,

I have to retrofit service guard to an existing rx8640 running 11.23 & Oracle, we're adding another rx8640 as the second node & sharing out the SAN attached disks.

Is it as straight forward as installing serviceguard on both hosts, setting up the cluster, sharing the VG's & starting the cluster?

Any tips, advice or documents on this very welcome!

TIA!

if SG is not already installed, then yes, simply swinstall SG, and follow th procedures documented in the Managing Serviceguard at http://docs.hp.com/en/ha under Serviceguard.
P.S. make sure you patch the system, especially teh correct PHSS* patch for the version of Serviceguard you are installing.

Also, if you intend to install the Serviceguard Storage Management Suite, I HIGHLY recommend the patches listed at http://www.hp.com/go/sgsms/patches
