HP-UX and Linux Serviceguard Cluster Manageability, June 2007

for sale. EMS HA monitors are designed to facilitate real-time monitoring and error detection for HP
products in the enterprise environment. This framework provides centralized management of
hardware devices and system resources and provides immediate notification of hardware failures and
system status.
HA monitors help to ensure the highest availability by notifying you of an event before it happens. HA
monitors include a database monitor, disk monitor, cluster monitor, network interface monitor, and
resource monitor. These monitors can poll hardware, disks, clusters, network interfaces, and system
resources, sending event notification or causing a Serviceguard protected application to failover.
Event viewers supported include Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management
applications, the HP-UX system log file, and forwarding of events to e-mail. A toolkit for those who
want to develop an event viewer of their own is also included.
