Monitoring Disk Resources

Creating Disk Monitoring Requests

Creating Disk Monitoring Requests

There are two ways to create disk monitor requests from:

•the SAM interface to EMS to send alerts to HP OpenView ITO, ClusterView, or Network Node Manager.

•MC/ServiceGuard to conﬁgure any disk monitor resource as a package dependency.

These requests are not exclusive: you can conﬁgure the disk monitor from both MC/ServiceGuard and the SAM interface to EMS. In fact, if you are using EMS to monitor disks for MC/ServiceGuard package dependencies, it is recommended you also conﬁgure EMS to send events to your system monitoring software, e.g. HP OpenView IT/Operations, so you are alerted when something threatens data or application availability.

The following sections take some common disk conﬁgurations in a high availability environment and give examples of the types of monitor requests you might want to create.
