AppManager provides Knowledge Scripts for monitoring Microsoft Cluster Server. These scripts can monitor shared drives and other shared resources from active nodes.
The Knowledge Scripts in the MSCS category are designed to run on clustered servers. They use the Cluster Administrator API, which enables them to track shared resources better.
Run the MSCS Knowledge Scripts on a server group representing all the nodes in the Microsoft Cluster Server, or on at least two different nodes. By running them on multiple nodes, you covered in case of a failure on one node, such as a computer that disconnects from the network or has a system failure. If you ran all your MSCS Knowledge Scripts on that node, you would receive no events from them.
The ability to monitor resources from active nodes applies to all the Knowledge Scripts in the MSCS category.
AppManager provides the following Knowledge Scripts for monitoring MSCS resources. From the Knowledge Script view of Control Center, you can access more information about any NetIQ-supported Knowledge Script by selecting it and clicking Help. In the Operator Console, click any Knowledge Script in the Knowledge Script pane and press F1.
