IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Test the monitoring server failover to clusternode2
Use smit hacmp to stop services on the primary node, or use the cluster test tool to automate the monitoring failover testing. Similarly, test the failover of services from the secondary node back to the primary node.
If you are actively using IBM Tivoli Monitoring (navigating workspaces, and so forth) when the failover occurs, it might take up to 10 minutes for the portal server and the agents to reconnect to the monitoring server due to portal server and agent internal timeout intervals.
