VMW Cluster Redundancy Verification
Purpose
This rule fires an alarm to report that if an ESX Server within the cluster fails, the
remaining servers in the cluster may not or do not have enough available CPU and/or
memory to handle the increased workload.
Scope
VMWCluster
Rule Definition
Conditions State Action
The cluster has sufficient redundant CPU and
memory capacity to handle the failure of a single
ESX Server.
Normal None
Although the cluster can handle the failure of a
single ESX Server, either the resulting combined
CPU utilization or the resulting combined memory
utilization on the remaining servers, or both, would
be beyond the warning threshold. The resulting
alarm message will indicate the values of both of the
new combined utilizations.
Warning None
If an ESX Server within the cluster fails, the
remaining servers do not have the capacity to handle
the increased workload. The resulting alarm
message will indicate the values of both of the new
combined utilizations.
Critical None
