Monitoring MSCS status
HP SIM monitors MSCS status on each monitored Windows cluster and displays it as a cluster attribute in
the Cluster Monitor . Cluster Monitor is also a contributor to the cluster status shown in the CS column on the
cluster table view page. Cluster Monitor polls the cluster on a set interval to retrieve the status value.
For information about MSCS Resource Settings, see “Cluster Monitor polling rate”.
To access the Cluster Monitor - Cluster Resource Settings page, click Options→Cluster
Monitor→Cluster Resource Settings.
NOTE: Only users with administrative rights can change the polling values.
