Understanding Serviceguard Software Components
How the Package Manager Works
Chapter 3 85
Once a monitor is configured as a package resource dependency, the
monitor will notify the package manager if an event occurs showing that
a resource is down. The package may then be failed over to an adoptive
node.
The EMS HA Monitors can also be used to report monitored events to a
target application such as OpenView IT/Operations for graphical display
or for operator notification. Refer to the manual Using High Availability
Monitors (http://www.docs.hp.com -> High Availability -> Event
Monitoring Service and HA Monitors -> Installation and
User’s Guide) for additional information.
