Cluster Monitor resource thresholds

Threshold overview

Cluster

resources use

thresholds

to trigger HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) events. The Disk resource

sets thresholds for disk capacity, and the CPU resource sets thresholds for CPU utilization.

Disk capacity thresholds

The Disk resource collects disk capacity data. To access the Cluster Monitor - Node Resource Settings

page where the thresholds are set, select Options→Cluster Monitor→Node Resource Settings.

The threshold values you enter in the Settings for the Selected Resource section define the Normal,

Minor, and Major ranges for disk utilization on monitored nodes.

For each disk, there are four thresholds in pairs. The Minor and Major thresholds are each associated with

a corresponding reset threshold. Utilization enters the Major range when it equals or exceeds the Major

threshold value and remains in the Major range until it falls to or below the Major reset value. The Minor

and Major reset thresholds behave similarly.

You can specify different thresholds for each disk in each node of a cluster.

See “Configuring node resource settings” for more information on setting disk thresholds.

CPU utilization thresholds

The CPU resource collects utilization data for the CPUs in a particular cluster. To access the Cluster Monitor

- Node Resource Settings page where the thresholds are set, select Options→Cluster Monitor→Node

Resource Settings.

The threshold values you enter in the Settings for the Selected Resource section define the Normal,

Minor, and Major ranges for CPU utilization on the selected node.

For each CPU, there are four thresholds in pairs. The Minor and Major thresholds are each associated with

a corresponding reset threshold. Utilization enters the Major range when it equals or exceeds the Major

threshold value and remains in the Major range until it falls to or below the Major reset value. The Minor

and Major reset thresholds behave similarly.

You can specify different thresholds for each CPU in each node of a cluster.

See “Configuring cluster resource settings” for more information on CPU thresholds.
