ServiceGuard is an HA solution with similar targets as RHCS or other solutions, older or newer ones (aka Kimberlite, LifeKeeper, heartbeat 2.x, Pacemaker/Corosync, Pacemaker/Heartbeat and so on...) I have not to run ServiceGuard at all at the moment. I used it in the past on both HP-UX and Linux. What are services in RHCS are called packages in ServiceGuard. Last time I worked on it on Linux was about 6 years ago on Itanium 1 64bit platform for a 4 nodes configuration. It was at that time that I noticed its behaviour (prompt at console) when you boot a node and it doesn't "see" the other cluster nodes... And so after my "clean_start" misunderstanding, I wanted to feed the thread with some considerations about possible evolutions/approaches in RHCS itself, no other intention... Now ServiceGuard is supported only on HP-UX and HP suggests a path in migrating existing implementations on Linux towards OS vendor cluster suites (aka RHCS if you are using RHEL).
