Cluster Infrastructure Aspects

Cluster Infrastructure Aspects discovers the high availability components such as cluster nodes and resource pool availability in a clustered environment. It is used to monitor the single point of failure (SPOF), quorum conditions, and node strength in a clustered environment. Cluster Infrastructure Aspects monitor the FailoverCluster CI types.

User Interface Reference

General

Provides an overview of the general attributes of the Cluster Infrastructure Aspects.

CI Type The type of CIs that can be assigned to the Aspect. This is the type of CI which is assigned to the Management Template. The Cluster Infrastructure Aspects contain the FailoverCluster CI types.
Instrumentation Provides an overview of the programs deployed to the CI types which contains the Aspect.
Aspects

Provides an overview of any Aspects that contain the Cluster Infrastructure Aspects. You can expand each item in the list to see more details about the nested Aspect.

Policy Templates

Provides an overview of the policy templates that contain the Cluster Infrastructure Aspects. You can expand each item in the list to see more details about the policy template.

The Cluster Infrastructure Aspects consists of the following:

Cluster Infrastructure Discovery

This Aspect discovers the high availability components such as cluster nodes and resource pool availability in a clustered environment. This Aspect consists of the following policy template:

CI Type

Policy Template Indicator Policy Description Policy Type
host_node Clus_ClusterDiscovery NA

Discovers the high availability infrastructure components such as cluster nodes and resource groups in a clustered environment.

Service Auto-Discovery

Cluster Strength and Status

This Aspect monitors the single point of failure (SPOF), quorum conditions, and node strength in a clustered environment. This Aspect consists of the following policy templates:

CI Type

Policy Template Indicator Policy Description Policy Type
FailoverCluster Clus_ClusterDataCollector NA Collects the availability or state data of a cluster and logs into embedded performance component (CODA). This policy template is scheduled to run every 5 minutes. Scheduled Task Template
FailoverCluster Clus_ClusterMonitor ClusterStrength Monitors the single point of failure (SPOF), quorum conditions, and node strength in a clustered environment. A single point of failure alert is raised when a single node is active and all other nodes are inactive in a cluster. This is a risk in a high availability environment. If the number of inactive nodes is greater than the number of defined nodes in a cluster, the quorum value is not met and an alert is raised. Measurement Threshold Template
FailoverCluster Clus_ClusterNodeMonitor NodeStatus Monitors the status of a node in a clustered environment. An alert is raised when a failure is detected on the node in a cluster. Measurement Threshold Template
FailoverCluster Clus_ClusterResGroupMonitor ClusterResourceGroupStatus Monitors the state and availability of resource groups in a cluster. An alert is raised when a failure is detected on the resource group in a cluster environment. The resource group cannot provide its services unless it is resumed back again.
