Serviceguard Manager greatly reduces operator training, optimises efficiency, and improves productivity. By automating many manual processes, cluster configuration, monitoring, administration, and trouble-shooting are all simplified. The potential for human error is also reduced since HP Serviceguard Manager maintains consistency of configuration files on all cluster nodes and provides helpful tool tips and wizards to automate and guide even a novice user through everything they need to do to set up and maintain even the most complex environment.
