Home  Previous  Next

What's New

VCS-257/KMF-328: Inactive standard attributes labeled Exec Time were added to monitor the performance of each collector. Please refer to the Reference Guide for detailed information.
VCS-266/KMF-396: It is now possible to customize the VCS log scan limit from CMA.

Changes and Improvements

VCS-185: Improved performance on Linux platforms.
VCS-265/KMF-390: The status report file of BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management - Veritas Cluster Server Monitoring is now suffixed with the Agent port number to avoid overwritting it when multiple virtual Agents are monitored.

Fixed Issues

VCS-143/KMF-295: Component monitoring could not be disabled from BMC ProactiveNet Central Monitoring Administration.
VCS-150: WAN heartbeat status  was not monitored correctly on Windows cluster nodes.
VCS-151: In large VCS clusters high CPU usage was observed with heavy I/O. The resource and service group status commands used by the VCSGroupCollector and VCSResourceCollector have therefore been changed to avoid processing large command outputs.
VCS-166: A compatibility issue prevented the KM to operate when the PATROL Agent v9.0.20i was run with the PATROL Config Cache support.
VCS-173: On Windows platforms, the KM was sometimes unable to automatically discover the relevant library path.
VCS-191: The State attribute of the VCS GAB Port monitor was improperly set to 0 (Membership) when the state of the GAB port was “Jeopardy”.
VCS-211: The Failover Status attributes of the VCS Group System and VCS Resource monitor types could trigger invalid warnings.
VCS-218: The main discovery cycle was irregular due to an asynchronous default KM discovery interval. It is now reduced to 30 seconds to avoid such irregularity.
VCS-224: The Sudo configuration in the sudoers file must be modified for Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and Linux to prevent Veritas Cluster Server commands failures (see Security Requirements).
VCS-243: The Login Status attribute was in warning due to an incorrect configuration variable used while checking the active cluster node.
VCS-244: During a long VCS failover, the value of the Monitoring Mode attribute was switching from its actual state to “Temporary Single-node Mode”. This issue is now fixed and the value remains unchanged until the number of failover attempts are exhausted.
VCS-256/KMF-334: On Windows systems, the monitoring solution did not correctly detect running VCS daemons which resulted in invalid alarms for the Node Status and Daemon Status attributes.
VCS-258/KMF-318: On Unix platforms, daemon collector command & arguments are modified to return only the relevant daemon lines from the process list.
VCS-271/KMF-402: On Windows systems, if the PATROL Agent installation path contained spaces, scripts calls and output redirection commands failed.
