Monitoring Mechanism For Hardware Failure - Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 1000 Series User Manual

SVmco User Guidel
1.2.2 Monitoring mechanism for hardware
failure
SVagent monitors the log output to the system log (Linux and VMware) and event log
(Windows), filters the events that have occurred according to the filter definition in
SVagent, and SVagent and SVmco takes the required action (e.g., e-mail notification,
REMCS notification, TRAP notification, log output) depending on the result.
To issue reports, the monitoring mechanism uses a dedicated LAN between SVmco and
the MMB to link with the MMB. The reports are sent through the MMB.
Notes
For VMware, the hardware messages below, which are output to the Console OS system
logs, are monitored. The relevant sections of 7.2. SVagent Messages are indicated in
parentheses. See these sections for details on messages.
- LAN ("7.2.4 LAN-related messages [Linux]")
- FC ("7.2.5 Fibre Channel messages [Linux]")
- SCSI ("7.2.7 SCSI messages [Linux]")
However, the driver messages of the SCSI common layer and those specific to VMware
and different from those of Linux are not monitored. Also, vmkernel or vmkwarning is not
monitored.
