4.1 Configuration of PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications in a cluster system

Use of a cluster system creates a highly reliable system that can continue job execution, even if one of the systems fails, thereby achieving 24-hour Performance Management operation and monitoring.

The following figure shows an example of operations in the event of a failure on the PFM - Agent host in a cluster system.

Figure 4‒1: Example of operation in a cluster system (when the PFM - Agent host exists on the same host as the SAP system)

Two environments with the same settings are created. The environment that is normally used for operations is defined as the executing node, and the other environment, which is used in the event of a failure, is defined as the standby node.

The figure below shows an example of how the SAP system is operated when it is remotely monitored in a cluster system configuration. Because a cluster system is configured to allow an ASCS instance to fail over, the monitored dialog service does not fail over. In this case, perform the same setup that is used for a non-cluster system.

Note

Only a single host within the SAP system can be monitored with a single PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications.
