currently monitoring a group of Microsoft SQL server clusters. currently I
monitor the two individual machines (Win 2003 ) for CPU, disk, mamory, etc....
and then monitor the Virtual IP for all my Database services and statistics. I
was wondering if it is first possible to make the virtual host dependant on both
physical hosts (2 parents) next I was wondering if anyone has experience with
monitoring MS clusters and can tell me how to monitor for which is the active
node of the database cluster. I was thinking of using a passive check on the
SQLServer service to determine which node is active but is there something
I can monitor at the OS level that could give me more
information?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
