9.4 Conditions Required for Auto-Recovery

This section explains the conditions required for auto-recovery.

Auto-Recovery Using Server Switchover Settings

A server for which Auto-Recovery is enabled will be automatically switched over to its spare server if Resource Orchestrator detects both a failure from the server hardware and determines that its physical OS (or VM host) has stopped.

Auto-Recovery Using Monitoring Information Settings

When ping monitoring using monitoring information is enabled, server switchover is automatically performed when there is no response from physical OS on servers or VM hosts, and restoration by executing reboot fails.
The recovery process can be changed by configuring settings. For the setting method, refer to "Chapter 8 Configuring Monitoring Information".

Note

  • Notification of hardware failures on rack mount servers, tower servers, and Fujitsu M10/SPARC Enterprise is only detected by SNMP traps.

  • Auto-Recovery is not triggered on servers that are in maintenance mode.

  • Even if a hardware failure is detected, Auto-Recovery will not be triggered if no response is received from the target server. In such cases, shutting down or restarting the server will temporarily stop the operating system, triggering an automatic switchover as the conditions for Auto-Recovery will be met. Under such conditions, automatic switchovers can be prevented by setting the server to maintenance mode before shutdown or restart.

  • When the target server is a VM host on which a VM guest with the server role (Manager) is operating, Auto-Recovery is not triggered.
