What are the Distributed Systems Administration Utilities?

HP Distributed Systems Administration Utilities (DSAU) improve both Serviceguard cluster management and multisystem management. The tools provide:

With configuration synchronization, you specify a specific server as your configuration master; all your other systems are defined as clients. The configuration master retains copies of all files that you want synchronized across your clients. For example, synchronization actions can include updating client files from the configuration master, executing shell commands, or checking for certain processes.

With log consolidation, logs from all systems you manage, whether in a cluster or not, can send their logs (system, package, and cluster) to a single location on the consolidation node from which they are easily monitored. All systems must be in a cluster or connected by a network to use consolidated logging.

With command fan-out, you can send the same command to all systems in your configuration in a single action.
