HPE Implementation for Safeguard Linux Service

HPE Serviceguard for Linux is a specialized Hewlett Packard Enterprise product for protecting mission-critical applications from hardware and software failures. This product allows multiple nodes to be organized into an enterprise cluster that is capable of supporting a highly available application. With HPE Serviceguard for Linux Implementation Service, Hewlett Packard Enterprise consultants utilize time-tested processes that provide all the variables necessary for a successful implementation of HPE Serviceguard on a Linux system.

The service encompasses two stages: analysis and planning, and implementation.

Analysis and planning
In this stage, HPE will review your computing environment for the HPE Serviceguard for Linux cluster, including hardware, software, and applications to determine compatibility with HPE Serviceguard. HPE will provide documentation of system and/or application issues that must beaddressed and resolved prior to implementation. HPE will also conduct a planning meeting to review recommendations and help you develop the project plan.

Implementation
In the implementation stage, HPE will install and custom configure HPE Serviceguard for Linux software, automate startup and shutdown scripts, and perform the creation of one application package. HPE will also demonstrate functionality of the high-availability cluster through successful completion of the agreed-upon test plan and document the cluster configuration. Operational procedures impacted by the installation of HPE Serviceguard will also be documented. Due to the complexity of high-availability environments, HPE custom support services are highly recommended for those who are new to the Serviceguard environment.

The following options are recommended for a basic cluster installation and configuration:
• HPE Serviceguard for Linux Startup Service (Fixed Support Service)
• HPE Serviceguard for Linux Startup Service (Flex Support Service)
