Installing and Configuring HP RSO with Oracle Database Servers

 

 

managing RSO with 
Insight Manager 

 

The RSO solution environment can be easily managed through the powerful 

Insight Manager

 tool.   

Insight Manager 7

 monitors the Recovery Server Option.  When the Recovery Server Option 

changes status, the Management Agents send an SNMP trap to the 

Insight Manager

.  RSO is 

supported by Management Agents version 5.40 or higher. 

The 

Insight Manager

 storage agents provide an event for the RSO status called, “Storage system 

recovery option status change”.  Anytime the RSO status changes, the event and the current status 
are sent out.  The following values are possible for 

RSO Status

− 

OK -

  RSO is installed and the other server is working correctly. 

− 

Secondary Running - Auto -

 RSO is installed, but the secondary (standby) server is 

running in place of the primary server. The secondary server assumed control 
automatically. 

− 

Secondary Running - User -

 RSO is installed, but the secondary (standby) server is 

running in place of the primary server. The secondary server assumed control via manual 
intervention. 

− 

Link Down -

 RSO is installed, but the communications link to the secondary (standby) 

server is down. 

− 

No Secondary -

 RSO is installed, but the communications link to the secondary (standby) 

server has never been established. 

− 

Disabled -

 RSO is installed, but it has been disabled by software. This is done to 

temporarily prevent the secondary server from taking over when the primary server is 
brought down. This is used to perform maintenance and other tasks on the primary server. 

− 

Not Configured -

 RSO is supported, but not configured on this storage system. 

− 

Not Supported -

 RSO is not supported for this storage system. 

− 

Daemon Down - OK -

 RSO is installed, but the RSO operating system daemon is not 

running. The last RSO status was OK. 

− 

Daemon Down - Link Down -

 RSO is installed, but the RSO operating system daemon 

is not running. The last RSO status was Link Down. 

− 

Daemon Down - No Secondary -

 RSO is installed, but the RSO operating system 

daemon is not running. The last RSO status was No Secondary. 

− 

Daemon Down - Disabled -

 RSO is installed, but the RSO operating system daemon is 

not running. The last RSO status was 

Disabled

− 

Unknown -

 The Storage Agents cannot determine the RSO status for this storage system.
