You could also set hobbit as an administrative user in VCS, as an alternative to putting sticky bit on the monitoring script.

I believe there is an "hastatus" script on DeadCat that works for monitoring VCS clusters. IIRC, we edited that for use with VCS clustering here. Had to put sticky bit permissions on "hastatus" & a couple of other VCS commands to make the script work when ran by Hobbit user), and also sticky bit on the script itself.

James,
There is a script available that will check that files systems on an HPUX that are in the /etc/fstab file are mounted. However, this will not help you in a cluster situation. I have not seen a hobbit script for doing a check of a VCS cluster. At my last job we used BMC Patrol and we wrote custom scripts to check the health of both our VCS and Service Guard clusters. I am about to start a project where I will be creating 2 Service Guard clusters in Production. If I don't find a hobbit/BB script to monitor their health, I will be creating one.

Hello All,
I had a recent problem with monitoring filesystems, and
I wanted some assistance.
We have a couple database servers using Veritas clustering.
Can anyone recommend a method for monitoring the Veritas
clustering and filesystems?
When the clustering went down, several partitions were unmounted.
Hobbit didn't alert us that the partitions were not available.
I'm curious, let's say hobbit is monitoring the filesystem (disk),
and someone unmounts a partition that is in vfstab or the filesystem
is no longer accessible, disk goes down, but the mount still shows.
Does Hobbit alert to these?
(The cluster mounts are not in the vfstab, but I just wondering
about other filesystems)
Thanks....James
