- #1
-
Files created by version 01-41 or earlier are supported by P-9S2C-E111 HA Monitor.
- #2
-
The maximum file size varies because data under a directory such as /opt/hitachi/HAmon/etc is acquired in batch mode and files that are not for HA Monitor are also transferred.
- #3
-
The maximum file size depends on the number of connected hosts and the number of monitoring paths.
- #4
-
The maximum file size varies according to the number of device definitions.
- #5
-
The maximum file size depends on the servmax and hostmax operand values.
- #6
-
The file is output at one of the following times:
• When HA Monitor's troubleshooting information collection command (monts command) is executed (corresponds to No. 1 in the table)
• When a monitoring path failure is detected (corresponds to No. 52 in the table)
• When a slowdown of the other host is detected (corresponds to No. 53 in the table)
• When a slowdown of the local host is detected (corresponds to No. 54 in the table)
• When a server slowdown is detected on the local host (corresponds to No. 55 in the table)
• When a UAP slowdown is detected on the local host (corresponds to No. 56 in the table)
• When the remote host is reset (corresponds to No. 60 in the table)
- #7
-
The top command's results are set in xxx_EX_TOP.

-
Information is backed up to _judge in version 01-56 or later. If the function for controlling hot standby based on the availability of LAN communications is not used with version 01-55 or earlier or version 01-56 or later, no data is backed up to _judge.
