Probing resources

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
In the Management Server console, you can probe a resource to confirm that it is properly configured before you bring it online. You can use the Management Server console to probe one or more resources.
Note: A resource must be enabled before you probe it.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role or the Operator role on the service group or the Availability perspective. The permission on the service group may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization or cluster.
To probe resources
  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Availability perspective and selectManage in the left pane.
  2. Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Clusters to locate the cluster.
  3. Expand the cluster, the Service Groups node, the service group, and then the resource type to locate the resource.
  4. Right-click on the required resource and select Probe.
  5. In the Probe resource(s) panel, select the systems on which you want to probe the resource. Select All systems to probe the resource on all the systems. ClickOK.
  6. In the Result panel, click OK.
