Mahesh,
HP ServiceGuard clusters work much like HACMP in the AIX world. You will
need to install the client code on each machine in the cluster, and
whichever node owns a particular package will wind up backing up the data
associated with the package.
Basically, when a package switches from one node to another, the
"receiving" node activates the associated volume group, and mounts all the
logical volumes/filesystems therein. From that point forward, the node
"owns" that data, the same as any normal system...at least until the
package switches somewhere else.
I don't think that you will want to use the IP/nodename associated with
the package(s)...use the interface/IP for the boot address for each node.

line) how do I reference the necessary filespaces?
