Operation of the Fault Monitor for the Zone Boot Component

The fault monitor for the zone boot component ensures that the all requirements for the zone boot component to run are met:

• The Sun Cluster HA for Solaris Containers zsched process is running.

  If this process is not running, the fault monitor restarts the zone. If this fault persists, the fault monitor fails over the resource group that contains resource for the zone boot component.

• Every host that is managed by a SUNW.LogicalHostname resource is operational.

  If the host is not operational, the fault monitor fails over the resource group that contains resource for the zone boot component.

• The specified milestone is either online or degraded

  If the milestone is not online or degraded, the fault monitor restarts the zone. If this fault persists, the fault monitor fails over the resource group that contains resource for the zone boot component.

  To verify the state of the milestone, the fault monitor connects to the zone. If the fault monitor cannot connect to the zone, the fault monitor retries every five seconds for approximately 60% of the probe time-out. If the attempt to connect still fails, then the fault monitor restarts the zone.
