Chapter 2 HP NetServer AA Overview
Monitoring the HP NetServer AA Server
Because the server is fault tolerant, when a fault occurs (for example, a failed disk), the server
continues operating. However, even though it is operating, it may be vulnerable. This means
that any failure to the faulted component’s redundant counterpart affects the availability of the
server. Because of this, you need to monitor the status of the components in your server and
correct any faults. You can monitor the server using any or all methods described in Table 2-12.
