Chapter 3 Operation Confirmation Template

Chapter 4 Web 3-Tier System Start and Stop Template

This template performs the following operations for Web 3-tier systems, and notifies the operation results by mail:

- Starting systems
Starts DB servers, AP servers, and Web servers, in that sequence.

Chapter 5 Problem Occurrence First Response Template

When the monitoring software raises an alarm, this template performs the initial isolation tasks, mail contact, and primary restoration tasks.

Chapter 6 VMware HA Operation Management Template

If using VMware in an HA cluster configuration, it is necessary to operate in the following order.

  • Stop virtual server

  • Switch to maintenance mode

  • Force ESX Server to stop

As this operation cannot be performed if there is a power outage, there is a danger it may cause a system problem after the power is restored.

When running in an environment where Systemwalker Runbook Automation is installed and VMware is being used in an HA cluster configuration, the VMware HA operation management template automatically stops ESX Servers in the appropriate order when a power failure occurs.

Chapter 7 Release Automation Template

The release package provided by the developers is fully automated right up until it is installed on the Business Server. Additionally, Fingerprint collection is used in order to check that the correct release package has been installed.
