MSCS status
Monitoring MSCS status
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) monitors Microsoft Clustering Service (MSCS) status on each monitored
Windows cluster and displays it as a cluster attribute in the Cluster Monitor . It is 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.
See “Cluster Monitor polling rate” for information about MSCS Resource Settings.
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.

Cluster resources supported by HP SIM
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) supports several Cluster Monitor resources:
• Disk
• CPU
Disk and CPU resources monitor the Disk capacity and CPU utilization, respectively. You can set minor
and major thresholds for individual nodes in a cluster. When those thresholds are reached, Cluster
Monitor creates an HP SIM event. The event triggers associated e-mail and paging notification as
configured in the HP SIM options.
• System
The System resource monitors the system health of the cluster member.
