Using CSM for Network Management

mruuth — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 09:00:49 GMT

I'm thinking about using the probefacility in CSM to probe almost all servers, including normally notloadbalanced servers, because then I have the possibility to send users to a sorryserver when something is wrong. Questin: How many probes can I run against how many servers. Which IPX-CPU i used for probes? Ihave standard probes and TCL-probes.

Regards

no IPX are used for probes. It's the PPC [main CPU] that handles them.

You can have quite a huge amount of probes.

But it depends on what type of probes and the frequency.

Do a 'sho mod csm X tech probe' and you should see the limitations at the top.

Thanks for information.

When I did the command I saw statistics. How do I know which probe belongs to which statistics?

Below is a extract from information.

This suspect has connected unsuccessfully 838 times

you need to type the command

'sho mod csm X probe real' and you'll get the information that you need.

Thanks for your rating.
