The standard document of Serviceguard is the "Managing Serviceguard" book. It comes as a physical book along with the Serviceguard license, and is also available in PDF form in the High Availability section of the docs.hp.com website. I see rariasn already gave you a direct link to it.

The introduction chapter will contain the "brief explanation", and the next chapters will be in-depth instructions about planning, configuring, maintaining and updating your cluster.

Be advised that a cluster needs to be carefully designed to work even _when_ (not "if"!) something fails: if you set up a cluster blindly following some brief "cookbook" instructions, without understanding and planning for the requirements of your site and application, your cluster may actually reduce the total availability of your system instead of improving it.

Shalom,

I like this manual.

The important concept with SG is it creates high availability, not fault tolerance.

The goal is to eliminate as many single points of failure as possible.

Thank you for looking for the manual! Some folks ask questions first, then educate themselves ;)

All Serviceguard-related documents can be found at this general website: http://docs.hp.com/en/ha.html

I recommend the "Managing Serviceguard" manual in the User Guide section, which is found when you click on the 'Serviceguard' link.

This is useful information for everyone.

All of the documents under docs.hp.com are being moved. The "easy to remember" link is:

Hi there

Just FYI that service guard is not a free software, you will have to buy it from HP.

You also need to have redundant hardware, at least 2 servers, and each server will have multiple NIC, connect to 2 switches.

read the manual then you will have a better idea.

thanks
