High Availability Monitoring
Making sure that your data is secured and at all times available is a daily challenge.
Business intelligence production is increasing at the pace of your organization growth. Successfully sharing, storing, protecting and recovering these ever-growing heaps of data can be the competitive advantage that speeds up your presence in the marketplace.
Sentry Software High-Availability monitoring solutions monitor the servers to anticipate key system, cluster, or other resource failures. They ensure problems are anticipated or dealt with quickly. Knowledge Modules are available for monitoring the following high-availability products:
- Veritas File System
- Veritas Volume Manager
- Veritas Cluster Server
Key Features
Monitors Servers
Monitors the overall health of the VCS, VxFS & VxVM servers. The following items are checked regularly and alerts are triggered in suspicious or critical circumstances:
- The working status of the server
- KM login and licensing details for the server
Other server information is available through the infobox
Monitors VCS & VxVM Daemons
Monitors all critical VERITAS HA and VxVM daemons. The working status of the daemon is checked regularly and an alert is triggered in suspicious or critical circumstances. CPU and memory usage data is gathered and may be monitored to trigger alerts if required. Other daemon information is available through the infobox.
Monitors VCS Agents
Monitors all VCS agents. The working status of the agent is checked regularly and an alert is triggered in suspicious or critical circumstances. The number of faults is gathered for each agent and can be monitored to trigger alerts if required. Other agent information is available through the infobox.
Monitors VCS Systems and Heartbeats
Monitors all remote systems configured on the server and their heartbeat communications. VCS uses both Low Latency Transport (LLT) protocol for network based communication and Group Membership Services/Atomic Broadcast (GAB) protocol for membership heartbeats via LLTs and point-to-point unicast communication between member nodes. The following items are checked regularly and alerts are triggered in suspicious or critical circumstances:
- working status of each system and heartbeats from that system
- each LLT interface and GAB disk status
- LLT and GAB module status
- system CPU resource usage
Other system and heartbeat information is available through the infobox and display parameters.
Monitors Log Files
All VERITAS logs are monitored. The following items are checked regularly and alerts are triggered in suspicious or critical circumstances:
- errors in the monitored log files
- space utilization of any monitored log file and its file system
Details of logged messages are available in text parameters, and other log information is available through infoboxes and/or display parameters.
Monitors VCS Resources and Resource Systems
Monitors all resources and their resource systems. The working status of each resource on its resource system is checked regularly and an alert is triggered in suspicious or critical circumstances. Other data is available in infoboxes and/or display or text parameters, including:
- details of the resources and their resource systems
- number of resource systems in different states
Monitors VCS Service Groups and Group Systems
Monitors all VCS service groups and their group systems. The working status of each group on its group system is checked regularly and an alert is triggered in suspicious or critical circumstances. Other data is available in infoboxes and/or display or text parameters, including:
- details of the groups and their group systems
- number of group systems in different states
Monitors VxFS File Systems
Monitors all VxFS file systems found on the system. Availability and performance of these file systems are collected regularly. Following VxFS components are also monitored:
- all VxFS file systems on UFS and VxVM volume
- snapshots
- quotas
Monitors VxVM Volumes
Monitors all VxVM volumes found on the system. Availability and performance of following VxVM components are monitored:
- logical volumes and their subvolumes
- plexes
- subdisks
- disk groups
- physical disks under VxVM control
