Service groups faults
A service group is a logical container, which consists of various resources. These resources are categorized in various resources types. Cluster Server uses agents to monitor the status of these resource types. Each agent monitors one resource type. Typically, a service group may fault due to the following reasons:
-
Service group resources are in the faulted or unknown state. A fault occurred at the resource level may cause service group failure. You need to first resolve the detected failure (physical removal of any hardware, for instance), and then clear the resource fault using InfoScale Operations Manager console. An example will be a faulty NIC. In this scenario, first the NIC needs to be replaced, thereafter you need to use the Clear Fault option for a selected service group.
-
Another scenario is the dependency of a service group's resource on other resources. You can view the resource dependencies under the Resource Dependency tab for a service group.
-
If a service group is dependent on other service group, the failure of this service group may also cause faults on the former service group. You can view this dependency under the Service Group Dependency tab for a service group.
