QuickSpecs
HPE Serviceguard for Linux QuickSpecs
HPE Serviceguard for Linux is a high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) clustering software designed to protect applications and services from planned and unplanned downtime.
HPE Serviceguard for Linux (SGLX) is designed to deliver 24x7 application availability by continuously monitoring the health of the infrastructure and other resources which may impact availability of the workload. In the event of a failure or incident affecting the application or any of the resources required by the protected applications / workloads, SGLX automatically moves the application / workload, along with its associated resources, to other servers or VMs belonging to the cluster. These resources can be on-premises, in the cloud or in HPE GreenLake environments. Applications can also be moved manually to perform system maintenance or upgrades. SGLX quickly responds to failures in server, storage, network, SAN and LAN connectivity, processes, memory, disk, operating environments, or threats.

- – Three year term (including license and Tech Care Essential for three years)
- – Five year term (including license and Tech Care Essential for five years)
Notes:
- – Also available with HPE GreenLake
- – Term SKUs cannot be combined upfront to create multi-year term license.
- – Renewals can be purchased before expiry of term by re-ordering the below SKUs
Licensing Model
Term License to Use (LTU)
The new choice to license Serviceguard for Linux with one, three and five year term licenses with bundled support helps you optimize TCO. Term licenses provide time bound license along with bundled HPE Tech Care Essential for the respective periods. SGLX major versions upgrades will require purchase of new term license. E.g., Upgrade of SGLX v12 to SGLX v15 will require purchase of new SKUs. Term licenses are available only in electronic form (E-LTU). One E-LTU of HPE SGLX v15 HA E5, HPE SGLX v15 HA DR E7 and optional Add-ons (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft SQL and NFS) delivers 2 per-core licenses or 4 vCPU licenses and access to the software electronically. In a physical environment, to determine SGLX license required, calculate the total number of physical CPU cores of each CPU and divide by 2. E.g., For a 4-socket server with Intel Xeon-Platinum 8380H (2.9GHz/28-core/250W) Processor, total cores will be 4*28=112, therefore SGLX license required will be 56 SGLX v15 HA E5 or HA DR E7 E-LTU (licensed per 2-core). In a virtual environment, calculate the total vCPU associated with each VM and divide by 4 (licensed per 4 vCPU). E.g., Two VMs with 9-core each will require, 3 licenses (9/4=2.25, if fraction always round-up to higher digit) for each VM, i.e., total 6 SGLX v15 HA E5 or HA DR E7 E-LTUs are required. Flex storage add-on is licensed per instance. E.g., for 2-node cluster 2 units of SGLX Flex Storage Add-On (one per node) is required. Implementation Services are available and must be ordered separately.
To continue using SGLX, renew the software term license before the end of the term period by ordering an additional one, three or five year term. The license count (LTU count) and the respective expiry dates will be listed through a product utility as well as on Serviceguard Manager GUI. You can also configure email alerts to be sent from the cluster nodes to any required email address. If the license expires or if there are insufficient licenses, the cluster and the application (package) will continue to run for 30 more days (grace period), post which the product will cease to function. You will not be able to perform any further Serviceguard configuration changes on the system during these 30 days.
Once term license is repurchased, you will receive an “entitlement order number” to activate the required number of licenses from the My License Portal. The repurchased licenses will be activated on the date you log in and download the license keys. The repurchased license can be downloaded / activated very close to expiry of current term to avoid loss of term days due to overlap with current term. When repurchasing, it is recommended to repurchase all the LTU’s required for a system at the same time.

- – One year subscription (including license and HPE Tech Care Essential for one year)
Notes:
– Also available with HPE GreenLake
– Subscription SKUs cannot be combined upfront to create multi-year subscription.
– Renewal of support for perpetual license SKUs can be purchased near end of support contract term
– Repurchase of subscription SKU can be purchased close to expiry of term by re-ordering the below SKUs
Licensing Model
Subscription License to Use (LTU)
The new choice to license Serviceguard for Linux with one subscription licenses with bundled support helps you optimize TCO. Subscriptions provide a time bound license along with bundled HPE Tech Care Essential for the respective periods. Subscriptions are available only in electronic form (E-LTU). One E-LTU delivers one per socket license (per instance license in case of Flex Storage Add-On) and access to the software electronically. Implementation Services are available and must be ordered separately.
To continue using SGLX subscriptions repurchase the software subscription close to the end of the subscription period by ordering additional one subscriptions. To continue support and updates for perpetual licenses, renew the support contract before the end of support term. The license count (LTU count) and the respective expiry dates will be listed in the product command line and Serviceguard Manager GUI. You can also configure email alerts to be sent from the cluster nodes to any required email address.
For SGLX subscriptions, you are advised to repurchase subscriptions through your HPE sales representative or HPE distributor well in time before the subscriptions expire to avoid any service discontinuity. If the license expires the cluster and the application (package) will continue to run, however you will not be able to perform any further Serviceguard configuration changes on the system and will experience restricted failover protection based on the Serviceguard configuration at the time of license expiry.
Once subscription is repurchased, you will receive an “entitlement order number” to activate the required number of licenses from the My License Portal. The repurchased licenses will be activated on the date you log in and download the license keys. To ensure a smooth renewal process please ensure you renew the subscription at least 90 days before expiry of current subscription. The renewal license can be downloaded / activated very close to expiry of current subscription to avoid loss of subscription days due to overlap with current subscription. When renewing it is recommended to renew all the LTU’s required for a system at the same time to ease management.
You can easily upgrade from one SGLX edition to another by purchasing the subscription for the required edition at the end or during the current subscription period. Any remaining term on the current subscription will not be carried over during such upgrades. When upgrading all the required LTU’s in a system must be upgraded at the same time.
Alternatively you can also choose to move to a perpetual license during or at the end of the subscription period

HPE Serviceguard for Linux Supported Configuration for version 12
Notes: This is a list of supported configurations at time of writing. For the most up-to-date list of certified servers, storage, operating systems, virtualization software’s, 3rd party software’s, supported configurations, important notes and caveats refer to the HPE SGLX Certification Matrix.
Memory requirements
Serviceguard requires approximately 15.5 MB of lockable memory.
Cluster arbitration requirements
Cluster arbitration is essential to ensure the highest level of availability and data integrity. SGLX provides Cluster Lock LUN and Quorum Sever (QS) based arbitration mechanisms. Arbitration is mandatory for 2-node configurations, it is optional but recommended for 3- to 4-node configurations
Notes:
- – One QS can serve a maximum of 300 nodes in up to 150 heterogeneous (Linux / HP-UX) clusters
- – Minimum memory requirements 128 MB and Locks up to 16 MB of memory
- – Can be deployed on any x86_64 Server, Virtual Machine on premise or cloud (private or public)
Cluster Lock LUN
Utilizes a shared LUN to provide a tie-break (arbitration) mechanism in the event a failure causes a 50% split in the cluster. Cluster Lock LUN requires a dedicated LUN with a minimum size of 100K. This method can be used for a cluster size of up to 4 nodes.
Quorum Service
Runs on a separate server or VM. In case of DR deployments across sites it must be hosted at a third site, to ensure a cluster can create quorum in the event of a site failure. The node on which the Quorum Service is running must have network connectivity to the clusters for which it is providing services. Ensure that the connection with each node is independent of the cluster heartbeat connection so that both are not likely to fail at the same time. The Quorum Service and clustered nodes may be on different subnets. You can also deploy the Quorum Service in a cluster of its own, so it is highly available.
Cluster Types
- – Active/Active
- – Active/Standby
- – Rotating Standby

Fibre Channel switches
Switches and hubs supported on selected disk array
Notes: Contact your HPE Storage representative for the latest firmware revision for switch connectivity support on Linux.
Fibre Channel host bus adapters
Notes: For a complete and up-to-date list of supported options on certified servers, please reference the individual QuickSpecs for each server. HPE Serviceguard for Linux supports all Fibre Channel HBA's which would be listed in
each supported server's QuickSpecs.
Networking
HPE Serviceguard for Linux recommends redundant networks, even though these are not shown in the diagrams. The redundant client network connections allow local failover from one NIC to another in case of failure in the network path. These connections must be on the same subnet. This is implemented using Channel Bonding. Failover from one NIC to another prevents a package, or the entire system, from failing over to another system. This minimizes impact to the application and to the users.
Typical Cluster Topologies
LAN connection to switches, white papers are available on the Technical documentation section of the HPE Networking web site http://www.hpe.com/networking, describing how to set up the LAN environment for the best availability. The key items that need to be in the servers are the correct number and type of LAN connections and the Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs). In a Fibre Channel storage system, the host port interconnects act as an internal switch to provide data-path redundancy. The below diagrams show a dual-controller Fibre Channel system in a switch attach configuration in which host port interconnects are typically enabled in order to provide fault tolerance. When the host port interconnects are enabled, port 0 on each controller is cross-connected to port1 on the other controller. This provides redundancy in the event of failover by making volumes owned by either controller accessible from either controller. Please refer to 3PAR documentation for complete connectivity details.
