Configure with HPE Serviceguard

on Linux

This tutorial explains how to configure SQL Server availability groups with HPE Serviceguard for

Linux, running on on-premises virtual machines (VMs) or in Azure-based Virtual Machines.

For an overview of the HPE Serviceguard clusters, see

HPE Serviceguard Clusters.

This tutorial consists of the following tasks:

In Azure, create three Linux-based VMs (Virtual Machines). To create Linux-based virtual

machines in Azure, see

Quickstart: Create Linux virtual machine in Azure portal. When

deploying the VMs, make sure to use HPE Serviceguard supported Linux distributions.

You can also deploy the VMs locally in an on-premises environment if you prefer.

For an example of a supported distribution, see

HPE Serviceguard for Linux. Check with

HPE for information about support for public cloud environments.

The instructions in this tutorial are validated against HPE Serviceguard for Linux. A trial

edition is available for download from

HPE.
