/var/VRTSvcs/log/engine_A.log log file, can anyone tell me the keywords what i need to search incase any issue occurs in any high available components like volume group / ip address/ application script etc....and also incase any failovers.

Why not configure the Notifier (NotifierMngr) resource? It's as easy as adding an email address (or list of), the name/ip address of the mail server and the level of notification for each recipient.

Notifier is normally part of the ClusterServer sg, but if don't have that, you can add that to any other sg and link it to the IP. Just take off Critical  - you don't want your entire sg to fail if Notifier is mis-behaving for some or other reason.

See the Bundled Agent Guide for your vcs and O/S version:

Bundled Agent Guide for 5.1 Solaris:

https://sort.symantec.com/public/documents/sf/5.1/solaris/pdf/vcs_bundled_agents.pdf

You can see in Engine_A log what kind of emails you can expect from Notifier. The different kinds of messages is marked with:

INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL.

Levels that can be set in the Notifier resource: Information, Warning, Error, and SevereError.

Specifying a given severity level for messages indicates that all messages of equal or higher severity are received.
