HP ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 for Enterprise Virtual Array Setup and Installation Guide

Managing Your ProLiant Cluster HA/F500
Insight Manager 7 offers secure access to the management application and Web-
enhanced management agents. This enhances the security provided by traditional
SNMP agents. The management application and management agents authorize the
user to look at information, change information, and execute operations.
Insight Manager 7 generates subsystem and component views through direct access
to networked devices by means of a standard Web browser, offering a quick and
convenient way to diagnose system status.
For detailed information about Insight Manager 7, refer to the documentation
included with the CD or go to the HP website at
www.hp.com/servers/manage.
Cluster Monitor
Cluster Monitor is a Web-based monitoring subsystem to Insight Manager 7. With
Cluster Monitor, you can view all clusters from a single browser and configure
monitor points and specific operational performance thresholds that will alert you
when these thresholds have been met or exceeded on your application systems.
Cluster Monitor relies heavily on the Insight Manager Web-enabled agents for basic
information about system health. It also has custom agents that are designed
specifically for cluster health. Cluster Monitor provides access to the Insight
Manager alarm, device, and configuration information.
Cluster Monitor has three distinct informational areas that can be used to meet
individual operational needs:
•
•
•
A problem window with a prioritized cluster event list sorted by severity for the
clusters that are under the administrator’s control
A topology tree displaying all clusters and their respective monitor points,
including Microsoft Cluster software health; processor, bus, disk, or network
usage and performance thresholds
A detailed problem definition based on monitored conditions and a proposed
resolution to the problem, if one can be determined, with drill-down capability to
the specific device or system causing a negative or unstable cluster state and the
ability to perform corrective actions
