Monitor Replication Engine Communication

Using the Oracle FS System Manager GUI, you can check the communication between the registered Oracle FS System and the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine.

From the Oracle FS System Manager GUI, choose SAN > Data Protection > Replication Engines.

The Replication Engines overview page shows the following information:

Service Status

Identifies the health of the processes running on the Replication Engine.

Valid states:

Normal
Warning
Unknown

Agent Status

Identifies the communication status of the Oracle MaxRep for SAN agents registered with the Oracle FS System.

Valid states:

All Communicating
Warning
Unknown

Name

Identifies the name of the Replication Engine.

IP Address

Identifies the IP address of the Replication Engine or high availability Replication Engine cluster.

Version

Identifies the Oracle MaxRep for SAN software version that is running on the Replication Engine.

If the system time of the last communication from an agent is older than the current system time by 15 minutes or more, Oracle MaxRep sends the designated user an alert email. The Replication Engine also sends an SNMP trap to the Oracle FS System for Call‑Home processing. You can configure the amount of time before an alert is sent by setting up user account notifications from the Settings tab from the Oracle MaxRep for SAN GUI.

The reasons for the Oracle FS System losing communication with the control service and process service Replication Engines include:

The agent service might be down.
The firewall is blocking the agent.
The network link is broken.
The system is down.
