Simulating cluster faults in global clusters

Use VCS Simulator to imitate the process of generating and clearing cluster faults.

See Monitoring alerts.

To generate a cluster fault

1. From Cluster Explorer, click the cluster in the configuration tree.
2. Right-click the cluster, click Fault Cluster, and click the cluster name.

   If any Cluster Explorer windows are open for the cluster being faulted, these become inoperative for a short period during which the Cluster Monitor tries to connect to the simulated High Availability Daemon for the cluster. Following this, an alert message appears and the Cluster Explorer windows close on their own.

   Note   When a faulted cluster is brought up, its fault is automatically cleared. In case of a GCO configuration, the Remote Cluster status is also automatically updated. Hence there is no need to clear the cluster fault.
