By regularly executing the ping command, it is possible to restart a physical server or a VM host which is not responding. (*1)
If there is still no response, recovery operations such as server switchover (*2) are performed when the OS hangs.
This improves the continuity of operations for dealing with OS level failures, not hardware failures.
*1: VMware ESXi is not supported.
*2: When using PRIMEQUEST, SPARC Enterprise partition models with divided areas, and FUJITSU M10 in Building Block configurations, recovery processes including server switchover cannot be performed.
