Monitoring a GroupWise System in a Microsoft Cluster46437novdocx (en) 11 July 200846Monitoring a GroupWise Systemin a Microsoft ClusterGroupWise® Monitor is similar to WebAccess in that it relies on a Web server for communicationwith administrators’ Web browsers. Consequently, the setup procedure for GroupWise Monitor in aMicrosoft cluster is similar to the setup procedure for WebAccess. If you have set up WebAccess inyour clustered GroupWise system, you should already have the skills necessary to set up GroupWiseMonitor as well.When you first install Monitor, it gathers information about agents to monitor from a domaindatabase (wpdomain.db). This provides the resource group IP address of each agent. When anagent fails over or migrates to a different node, its status in Monitor displays as Not Listening until itis up and running again, at which time its status returns to Normal.Because Monitor must use resource group IP addresses to monitor the agents in a clusteredGroupWise system, the Discover Machine and Discover Network options do not work in a cluster.Resource group IP addresses cannot be obtained by examining the network itself. If you need to addagents to monitor, use the Add Agent option and provide the agent’s resource group IP address.For instructions on setting up GroupWise Monitor, see “Installing GroupWise Monitor” in theGroupWise 7 Installation Guide.
