October 1, 2001 RDF T-of-I for Versions 1.2 and 1.3 RDF ASAP SGP- Introduction ASAP – Availability Stats and Performance Network, system & application monitoring through states and metrics User interface is though a Windows GUI, NSK CI & EMS event generation Standard subsystem monitoring included with ASAP product (CPU, Disk, Expand, Spooler, TMF, etc.) Highly extensible through published APIs enabling user written SGPs (Stats Gathering Processes) to be written RDF monitoring provided by an SGP developed by RDF development and released with RDF/IMPX 1.3 (ASAPRDF) ASAP 2.0 release includes the required support for the RDF SGP

October 1, 2001 RDF T-of-I for Versions 1.2 and 1.3 Configuring ASAPRDF ASAPRDF is distributed with the rest of the RDF product No configuration changes are required to the RDF environment to enable ASAP support RDF monitoring is enabled through the ASAP CI using the SET command e.g. SET RDF ON, OBJECT $SYSTEM.RDF.ASAPRDF, PARAMETERS “RATE 10“ starts RDF monitoring with status being collected every 10 minutes ASAP SGPs are persistent programs automatically restarted by the ASAP monitor By default the SGP will auto discover each RDF subsystem on the local node Auto discovery can be overridden using the MONITOR command in the CI e.g. MONITOR RDF RDF05->RDF07

5. © 2001 Compaq Computer Corporation. October 1, 2001 RDF T-of-I for Versions 1.2 and 1.3 Autodiscovery At startup the SGP attempts to auto discover all the RDF environments on the local node Search $SYSTEM for all CONFIG files with a code of 721 (T5864 config files are ignored based on the key length of the config file) Clean up any old environments before you start ! SGP keeps an internal table of all the environments it finds Control subvol, backup node and primary/backup flag are stored for each environment New RDF environments being added or old ones being removed require the SGP to be stopped/started to refresh the table and allow monitoring to take place

October 1, 2001 RDF T-of-I for Versions 1.2 and 1.3 Gathering and reporting RDF status The ASAP Monitor triggers the SGP to report status based on the time interval specified in the SET RDF command The SGP works through the RDF subsystem table and sends a status message to each RDF process in the subsystem on that node Primary reports status of the Monitor & Extractor(s) Backup reports status of the Receiver(s), Image trails, Purger and Updaters The status is the same as the information obtained through an RDFCOM STATUS RDF command (the same messages are used) ASAP allows each piece of information to be ‘ranked’ against user defined ‘objectives’ before it is passed to the collector (out of scope of this TofI) Rankable values are error, RTD time, primary and backup CPUs and priority Status information for all the subsystems on the node are passed back to the ASAP collector

ASAP 2.1 compatible IPM to follow) Check RDF SGP is actually running on both the RDF primary and backup nodes If no stats are being reported, check RDF status with RDFCOM from the RDF primary system using STATUS RDF If autodiscovery is being used find all the code 721 RDF CONFIG files FILEINFO $SYSTEM.*.CONFIG This will show the environments that should be reporting stats If using MONITOR RDF for specific RDF environments check what is being monitored with MONITOR RDF, LIST Manually stopping the $ N process will cause it to be re- started and re-autodiscover
