Configuring MetroCluster components for health monitoring

You must perform some special configuration steps before monitoring the components in a MetroCluster configuration.

These tasks apply only to systems with FC-to-SAS bridges.

Note

  • You should place bridges and a node management LIF in a dedicated network to avoid interference from other sources.

  • If you use a dedicated network for Health Monitoring, then each node must have a node management LIF in that dedicated network.

  1. Configuring the MetroCluster FC switches for health monitoring
    In a fabric-attached MetroCluster configuration, you must perform some additional configuration steps to monitor the FC switches.
  2. Configuring FC-to-SAS bridges for health monitoring
    You must perform some special configuration steps to monitor the FC-to-SAS bridges in the MetroCluster configuration.
