Chapter 11 Monitoring Resources

This chapter explains how to monitor the configuration and status of managed resources.

11.1 Overview

Resource Orchestrator can centrally monitor the configuration and status of servers or other managed resources directly from the ROR
console. This enables the identification of resources experiencing problems, which reduces the time spent on system maintenance.
Moreover, Resource Orchestrator can easily launch external management software to precisely locate faulty parts within a managed
resource.

Monitoring is based on the following three components:

-

Resources

Resource Orchestrator can centrally monitor the configuration and status of servers and other managed resources (Chassis, servers,
L2 switches, LAN switch blades, network devices, physical OSs, VM hosts and guests, power monitoring devices, etc.) directly from
the ROR console.
When a hardware problem occurs on a server, affected guest operating systems can be easily detected.

Note

Power monitoring devices are not subject to monitoring.

-

Events

Resource Orchestrator displays events such as hardware failures, server switchovers triggered by hardware failures, and the results of
every performed operation.

-

Recent Operations

Resource Orchestrator displays the progress status of the various operations performed on resources.

The following table shows the level of monitoring performed for each resource monitored in Resource Orchestrator.
