Operations by the Sun Cluster HA for SAP DB Fault Monitors During a Probe

The optimum timeout for fault monitor probes depends on the operations that a fault monitor performs to probe the resource.

Operations by the SAP DB Fault Monitor During a Probe

During a probe, the SAP DB fault monitor performs the following operations:

1. The SAP DB fault monitor determines whether the SAP DB database instance is online.

2. If the SAP DB database instance is online, the SAP DB fault monitor determines whether the parent kernel process of the SAP DB database instance is running. You can control how the fault monitor responds if the parent kernel process is not running. For more information, see Forcing the SAP DB Database Instance to Be Restarted if the Parent Kernel Process Is Terminated.

3. The SAP DB fault monitor determines whether SAP xserver is available. This fault monitoring supplements the fault monitoring that the SAP xserver fault monitor provides.
