The Enterprise Cluster Master Toolkit is a set of templates and scripts that allow you to configure Serviceguard packages for HP Internet servers and third-party database management systems. This unified set of high availability tools is being released for HP-UX 11iV2 on both PA and IA platforms, and supports Serviceguard versions 11.15 and 11.16.

The ECM toolkit is a collection of specific product toolkits that integrate popular applications into a Serviceguard environment. Specific toolkits include: HA internet toolkits (including HP Apache, HP Tomcat, and HP CIFS/9000); Database toolkit for Oracle.

By taking advantage of the ECM toolkit, benefits provided include the following: High availability for mission-critical applications through fast, automated failure detection and application restoration; Fully tested scripts that integrate popular applications into a Serviceguard environment; Rapid implementation using HP Consulting; Ability to integrate applications within an HP disaster-tolerant solution, such as HP Metrocluster; Lowered Total Cost of Ownership because the solution builds on top of Serviceguard.
