[paabhi]

Hi Team,

We are setting up a new cluster with hp-ux 11.31+service guard 11.18.Then the database packages running on existing cluster will be migrated to this.The existing cluster is built with hp-ux 11.11+ServiceGuard 11.16.

Please anyone tell me the additional parameteres added in the control &conf files for SG a.11.18.

I have gone through the release notes and it describes a lot

Hi Abhilash,

I haven't find much difference in the parameters otherthan configuring the dependancy and priority.However in version 18 ,most of the network configration can be done while the cluster is up, and you have got an option to go with modular package.

if you are comfortable in 11.16 , you wont find difficulty in configuring 11.18

but other's may have different openion..

I would *highly* recommend installing SG 11.19. I have been impressed with the failover speed, as well as the package dependencies. (finally they are useable!)

You will need to convert your package configuration to the new modular configuration. It keeps the entire package config in a single file, which is very nice.

Are you using the pre-built package control scripts for oracle?

The Serviceguard/SGeRAC/SMS/Serviceguard Manager Plug-in Compatibility and Feature Matrix, February 2010 at http://docs.hp.com/en/5971/SG-SGeRAC-SMS-EMSSupport.pdf gives a summary of new features for each supported version of Serviceguard.

While still supporting 'legacy' package format, A.11.18 offers the new modular package configuration method, where only one file is necessary to identify all package specific parameters and resources. Also package dependencies and priorities are possible.

The cluster management 'engine' was rewritten for A.11.19. This version also include many new features and supports online reconfiguration of more parameters than previous versions.

hi People,
Can any one know the link for downloading MC Service Guard 11.18 for Hpux.
Kindly help me asap

[Thomas J. Harrold]

It is available on the O/S and application DVDs. I do not believe you can download it, unless you have a support contract that includes ServiceGuard. (or the HA Operating Environment)
