Operation of the Siebel Server Fault Monitor

During a probe, the Siebel server fault monitor tests for the correct operation of the following components:

• The Siebel database

  If the Siebel database fails, the status of the Siebel server is marked as DEGRADED. When the Siebel database restarts again, the Siebel server resource probe tries to verify that the Siebel server is functioning. If this test fails, the Siebel server is restarted or failed over to another node.

  The Siebel database might not be available when the Siebel server resource is started. In this situation, the fault monitor also starts the Siebel server when the Siebel database becomes available.

• The Siebel gateway

  If the Siebel gateway fails, the status of the Siebel server is marked as DEGRADED. When the Siebel gateway restarts again, the Siebel server resource probe tries to verify that the Siebel server is functioning. If this test fails, the Siebel server is restarted or failed over to another node.

  The Siebel gateway might not be available when the Siebel server resource is started. In this situation, the fault monitor also starts the Siebel server when the Siebel gateway becomes available.

• The Siebel server and all its enabled components

  If the Siebel server fails, it is restarted or failed over. If any Siebel component fails, a partial failure is reported. The fault monitor counts this partial failure as 10% of a complete failure.

  Note –

  The fault monitor of the Siebel server can detect component failures only in English language installations of Siebel.
