18 Using Dell Performance Resource Optimization Pack
Overriding Recovery Actions
PRO Pack 2.1 supports two recovery actions. The following flag values trigger
the respective recovery action:
• 1: For migration
• 2: For placing the server in restricted mode
You can override the default recovery action by changing the default recovery
action flag value. For example, change the recovery flag value from 2 to 1
using the overrides option provided in SCOM console. After overriding the
default value to 1, and implementing PRO Tip, recovery action triggers
migration of VMs from the host. If you enter any other value other than 1 and
2, PRO Tip implementation fails, and an error message is displayed.
To override the recovery action,
1
Click the Authoring tab in SCOM.
2 Search for the Dell PRO Pack monitors.
3 Select the monitor which you intend to override.
4 Right-click and select Override Recovery.
5 Select the Override check box.
6 Change the value of RecoveryOverrideFlag .
NOTE: When you select Enable, SCOM performs an auto-implementation for
the unit monitor. Since, this involves VMM migration, review and set the
values accordingly.
7 Select Enforce check box.
8 Click Apply
CAUTION: Saving the settings in the default management pack, creates a
dependency between PRO Pack and the management pack. When you remove or
delete PRO Pack, you must delete the default management pack as well, as it
contains default settings for SCOM. Hence, it is recommended that you save
settings using a new MP.
9 Click Save Overrides .
