BMC Performance Manager for High Availability Management by OTL Software
Business Challenge
As VERITAS’ high availability solution is very reliable and stable, administrators may take a reactive, "Fire fighting" approach to its maintenance. This means business processes could already be failing before an action is taken. Thorough monitoring of the managed file systems, volumes, and cluster server along with initiation of the appropriate warnings and alarms are required to avoid system interruptions.
Business Need
Monitoring the VERITAS high availability environment from a holistic approach
Ensuring all essential processes are running and all expected file systems are mounted
Ensuring all physical resources are available (disks) and running at a normal rate
Ensuring relevant log files are not having warning or error entries written in them
Alerting when monitoring reveals something is operating incorrectly
Our Solution
BMC Performance Manager for High Availability Management by OTL Software monitors all key parameters associated with VERITAS File System, Volume Manager and Cluster Server enabling warning or alerting on any situation that may cause corruption within the VERITAS environment. This solution will highlight failovers and minimize their effect ensuring maximum application availability and performance, critical at time when we need machines for 24x7x365 in our global economy.
