serviceguard and serviceguard with OPS are same product ?

[Sammy_2]

I need to order serviceguard OPS Edition software for my cluster. Is that the same product as for
MC/Serviceguard (No OPS)? I noticed the product id for Just HP/MC Serviceguard is(no ops) is:
B3935DA A.11.13 MC / Service Guard

No they are different products. I beleive OPS edition has been now called as RAC (Real Application Cluster)with few additional features.

-USA..

Thanks. Would you know what is the HP product iD for RAC ? I believe I need to get the latest one for HPUX 11i ver 1.

Serviceguard OPS Edition used to be a separate product comletely, and meant that to install it you first had to de-install normal Serviceguard.
These days it is just an add-on product called SGeRAC (Serviceguard Extension for RAC).
As 11.13 of Serviceguard is no longer supported, you would be better off updating to a newer version of SG, and then adding the SGeRAC product on to it, unless you are on HP-UX 11.00, in which case you should will need to get SG OPS Edition 11.14

See http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1859BA

and also
http://docs.hp.com/en/6257/SGeRAC-SLVM-CVM_Support-Mar02-2005-Final.pdf

If you do have HP-ux 11i (11.11 or 11.23) then you can go to SG 11.16 and add on SGeRAC 11.16
I believe the product numbers are:

T1859BA for 11.11
T1907BA for 11.23
