Operations of the Oracle VM Server for SPARC Probe

  • The probe checks the domain state every 60 seconds by using the ldm list-domain command.

  • The ldm list-domain command produces a status line for the domain and is accurate at the instant that the command executes.

  • The status modes that are considered to be normal operational modes are as follows: active, suspending, resuming, suspended, and starting. Whenever the ldm command reports these status modes, the probe considers that the domain is operating in an acceptable mode.

  • The status modes that are considered to be restartable modes are as follows: inactive and stopping. These modes are not considered acceptable and if one of these modes is encountered, the probe requests a restart of the resource.

  • The probe also requests a resource to restart if any unknown status modes are reported by the ldm command.

  • If the guest domain configuration has changed, the probe will update this information to the CCR.

  • The probe runs the user-supplied script or binary provided for plugin_probe. If this process fails, then the probe will restart the guest domain resource.

  • If the guest domain resource is repeatedly restarted and subsequently exhausts the Retry_count within the Retry_interval, then a failover is initiated for the resource group onto another node if Failover_enabled is set to TRUE.
