B.1.8 Definition File for Alive Monitoring

When using alive monitoring, create the definition file and specify the parameters for alive monitoring. The configuration of this parameter must be unique in the system.

When using alive monitoring on a physical L-Server, monitor hang-up of the operating system corresponding to a physical L-Server using the OS Ping response.
For details on Ping monitoring, refer to "Chapter 8 Configuring Monitoring Information" in the "Setup Guide VE".
