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.
The alive monitoring of virtual L-Server monitors the heartbeat of VM guests corresponding to the virtual L-Server by using the heartbeat monitoring functions of server virtualization software.
For details on heartbeat monitoring functions, refer to the server virtualization software manual.
[VMware]
For Resource Orchestrator alive monitoring functions, configure the heartbeat monitoring settings in "VM Monitoring" for VMware HA on each VM guest.
[Hyper-V]
For Resource Orchestrator alive monitoring functions, configure the heartbeat monitoring settings in "Heartbeat setting" for MSFC on each VM guest.
Note
When changing configuration of alive monitoring on server virtualization software, the modification is not reflected on Resource Orchestrator.
Therefore, do not change alive monitoring configurations on server virtualization software.
The file in which the default values are described is located during installation.
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data\alive_monitoring
[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data/alive_monitoring
vm_VMware.rcxprop
vm_Hyper-V.rcxprop
The file name is not case sensitive.
In the definition file, the items to set are entered on individual lines. Each line is entered in the following format.
Item_specified=Value_specified |
When adding comments, start the line with a number sign ("#").
Specify "Minimum uptime" in the heartbeat monitoring settings for VMware.
Enter an integer between 0 and 100000. The unit is seconds.
"120" is specified as the default.
Specify "Failure interval" in the heartbeat monitoring settings for VMware.
Enter an integer between 1 and 100000. The unit is seconds.
"30" is specified as the default.
Specify "Maximum per-VM resets" in the heartbeat monitoring settings for VMware.
Enter an integer between 1 and 1000.
"3" is specified as the default.
Specify "Maximum resets time window" in the heartbeat monitoring settings for VMware.
Enter -1, and an integer between 1 and 1000. The unit is hours.
When -1 is specified, "None" is configured.
"1" is specified as the default.
When configuring to disable alive monitoring in Resource Orchestrator, overwrite the heartbeat monitoring settings for VMware clusters, and specify if disabling the heartbeat monitoring settings of VM guests.
To disable heartbeat monitoring configuration of VM guests, specify "true".
To configure the same settings of VM guest heartbeat monitoring as the settings of VMware cluster, specify "false".
"false" is specified as the default.
Note
When applying the modified details to an already created L-Server, execute the rcxadm lserver modify command after changing the definition files.
For details on the following parameters, refer to the VMware manual.
Minimum uptime
Failure interval
Maximum per-VM resets
Maximum resets time window
Specify "Period for restarts [mm:ss]" in the heartbeat monitoring settings for MSFC.
Enter an integer between 0 and 3599. The unit is seconds.
Specify a smaller value of time than that specified in "retry_period_on_failure".
"900" is specified as the default.
Specify "Maximum restarts in the specified period" in the heartbeat monitoring settings for MSFC.
Enter an integer between 0 and 4294967295.
"1" is specified as the default.
Specify "If restart is unsuccessful, fail over all resources in this service or application" in the heartbeat monitoring settings for MSFC.
When performing failover, specify "true".
When not performing failover, specify "false".
"true" is specified as the default.
Specify "If all the restart attempts fail, begin restarting again after the specified period [hh:mm]" in the heartbeat monitoring settings for MSFC.
Enter -1, and an integer between 0 and 1439. The unit is minutes.
When -1 is specified, it is disabled.
When specifying 0 to 1,439, specify a larger value of time than that specified in "restart_period".
"60" is specified as the default.
Note
When applying the modified details to an already created L-Server, execute the rcxadm lserver modify command after changing the definition files.
Refer to the MSFC manual for details on each parameter.
