You can use AppManager to monitor Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle RDBMS running as virtual servers in a Microsoft Cluster Server. You can monitor cluster resources using the AppManager for MSCS and AppManager for Microsoft Windows modules.
At this time, you can only monitor cluster resources in MSCS. Other clustering products, such as Veritas Cluster Server, are not supported.
However, not all Windows server applications are cluster-enabled. Currently:
With the AppManager for MSCS module, the agent can monitor any virtual server on the cluster.
For most modules, the agent monitors the application only on the local node.
For some applications, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle RDBMS, you can run application-specific Knowledge Scripts on the physical nodes that make up the cluster to monitor the virtual server. For these applications, monitoring is handled through the application-specific module, such as AppManager for Exchange 2008 and 2010 or AppManager for Microsoft SQL Server.
For cluster resources that are not linked to a particular application, monitoring is handled through the AppManager for MSCS and AppManager for Microsoft Windows modules, and the MSCS and NT Knowledge Scripts.
To perform any cluster monitoring, you must install the AppManager agent on the local (not shared) disk of each node in MSCS.
