HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.6.0 Windows Storage Server Edition Administration Guide (403103-005, January 2008)

Chapter 17: Configure Device Monitors 214
Device Type: Select the appropriate device type (DISK, GATEWAY,
NTSERVICE, SHARED_FILESYSTEM, or CUSTOM). See “Overview” on page
207 for a description of these monitors.
Frequency and Timeout: These fields are set to the default values for the
type of device you have selected. Change them as needed.
Additional parameters: Depending on the type of monitor you are
creating, you will be asked for an additional parameter.
• DISK monitor. Specify the partition to be monitored. The monitor will
periodically attempt to read the first block of this partition. You can
specify the partition by a drive letter such as X: or by a mount point
(junction) such as C:\san\vol2.
• GATEWAY monitor. Specify the IP address of the gateway device
(such as a router). The IP address must be on a different subnet than
the servers in the cluster.
• NTSERVICE monitor. If you want services dependent on the
monitored NT service to also be started when the NT service is
started, click “Start dependent services.” Then, at the “Start Service
Retry Count” prompt, specify the number of attempts that should be
made.
• SHARED_FILESYSTEM monitor. At the “Filesystem” prompt, select
the filesystem that is to be monitored. The “Filename” parameter is
optional. Enter the name of a file that the monitor probe should open
and attempt to read to determine the health of the filesystem. The
filename should be relative to the mount point of the filesystem. When
the filesystem is mounted, the mountpath will be prepended to the
filename to determine the complete filename path that should be
probed.
NOTE: If the file that you specify does not already exist, you will need
to create it.
If you do not enter a filename, HP Clustered File System will create a
file that will be used by the monitor probe. The file will be named
MxS\<serverIP>\<monitor_name>, where <serverIP> is the dotted
