Re: Command line access to EV Task's status
I'm unable to configure the Operations Manager web app. It seems (verified by Symantec) that OpsManager on EV 7.0 and 7.5 has to be manually deployed on Veritas clusters. Also, I'm looking to setup an automated monitoring process. The EV events alone aren't going to cut it. I will look into OpsManager though.342Views0likes0CommentsRe: archiving task - log/report needed
The biggest issue is that there is no real-time logging. I want to know as much abouta problem from when the problem occurs. It can be rather difficult to reproduce the problem in order to get useful information to act on. Events can be useful for categorizing issues, but they rarely supply enough information to assist with the correction of the underlying problem. DTrace is nice for enabling detailed tracing without restarting services. It has some nice triggering and other features, but it is atroubleshooting tool and nota log file replacement.294Views0likes0CommentsRe: archiving task - log/report needed
I've asked this exact question. The only partial answer I've heard is to run dtrace during the production run. I haven't tried this because it seems like dtrace would dump out way too much information, but if you were very specific with which options you selected and didn't use verbose mode it might kind of work. RANT - The ability to turn on tracing without bouncing services is nice, but it is not logging. The event log is already "noisy", but still rarely has sufficient information to determine a problem's cause. Immediately having to fall back to dtrace and attempting to recreate the problem is a poor substitute for proper logging.294Views0likes0CommentsCommand line access to EV Task's status
There is a EV utility (EVService) that can be used to start, stop, pause and resume EV services and tasks. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to have the capability to list the available services and tasks nor can it display the currect status of a service or task. Is there another way to poll for an EV service'sor task's status? I can get the status of the services through the clustering tools or via Windows for standalone installs, but the status of the tasks is internal to EV. Thanks, Jim341Views0likes5Comments
