Serviceguard Solutions: Simpler operations

Serviceguard Enterprise Cluster Master Toolkit (ECMT) is a convenient bundle of Toolkits for your most important applications, databases, and services.

ECMT now includes three new toolkits: IBM DB2, MySQL Server and Sybase ASE.

100% of the most common actions typically performed on a cluster can now be done while the cluster is running.

Online cluster changes mean you can add or delete nodes or packages, change node capacities or package weights, and much more—all without bringing your application down.

That’s less downtime for maintenance and management!

Perform storage changes online such as adding or deleting a volume group from a package while the package is running—and much more.

Plus, speed up and simplify maintenance with Maintenance Mode, allowing you to temporarily suspend Serviceguard monitoring of Oracle so you can quickly and easily perform maintenance on the database.

New cluster wizards make setup and management a snap. These guide you through the process of creating and configuring a high availability cluster by stepping you through the process to get the solution up and running quickly. This can greatly reduce time and expertise needed to complete cluster and package configuration.

On top of that, you can now use command preview either at the command line or through the Serviceguard Manager GUI to eliminate the guess-work from failover by seeing exactly what Serviceguard will do in a failure before it happens.

Serviceguard A.11.19 eliminates your need for custom scripting by integrating detailed dependencies between services right in the software.

Easily control when, where, and how packages run with integrated features instead of scriptsyou have to write yourself. Use an intuitive graph to preview how packages will depend on others and gain the confidence that your intricate, distinct environment is implemented correctly and fully supported.

You get greatly increased application reliability and predictability of cluster resources, while spending up to 25% less time administering those resources.

Automatically be given the best tool for the job with built-in intelligence to instantly recognize nodes that are running on virtual machines (Integrity VMs), hard (nPars), soft (vPars) partitions—and connecting you the best management tool for the job.
