A METHOD FOR MANAGING FAULTS IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Many computing system environments require continuous availability and high operational readiness. The ability to find, diagnose, and correct actual faults and potential faults in these systems is high. By combining a continually updated database of computing system performance with the ability to analyze that information to detect faults and then communicating that fault information to correct the fault or provide appropriate notification of the fault results in achieving the goals of high availability and operational readiness. Figure (1) shows the data collectors (102, 104, 106 and 108) fault detectors (110) and policy actions (112) are combined to meet these goals.
