cluster can use DM-Multipath (Please upgrade to A.12.00.40 or higher to use VMware NMP)
b. DM-Multipath is supported with KVM guests using FC devices for shared storage (requires A.12.00.30 or
above)
c. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7) only user friendly named mapper device are supported
Device Mapper (DM-Multipath) storage multi-pathing is supported for Lock LUN with following conditions:
a. DM-Multipath must be used for Lock LUN access on all nodes in the cluster.
b. When using DM Device Alias Names for Lock LUN, the alias name must be the same on all nodes.
c. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7) only user friendly named mapper device are supported
d. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7) the cluster Lock LUN cannot have an alias name ending with a number
Serviceguard automatically configures SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation based IO fencing for all shared storages
in a package. The only exception is a cluster that comprises only VMware virtual machines as nodes and uses
VMware VMFS datastore volumes for shared storage. Customers must never disable SCSI-3 Persistent
Reservation from cluster/package configuration or on the storage without prior agreement from HPE. If
disabled without prior agreement with HPE, the configuration is unsupported.

1.4 Virtualization Hypervisors
HPE Serviceguard for Linux Base, Advanced, and Enterprise editions support configuring Virtual machines as cluster nodes.
Virtual Machines created using VMware ESXi, Red Hat KVM and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization hypervisors are supported.
HPE Serviceguard for Linux Base, Advanced, and Enterprise editions can installed on virtual machines (guests) running Red Hat
Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems.
HPE Serviceguard recommends that customers check the Hypervisor vendor's latest compatibility
matrix as appropriate to ensure compatibility and optimum functionality. Certification of Hypervisor will
only be valid till the published support life of the Hypervisor version itself.
The following conditions apply:
•
Cluster with Virtual Machines as nodes, from different types of hypervisors are not supported
•
Hybrid Clusters with mix of both physical servers as nodes and virtual machines as nodes are supported
