Configuring application monitoring for DB2

Perform the following steps to configure monitoring for DB2 on a managed LPAR.

To configure application monitoring for DB2

  1. In the Symantec High Availability view of the VOM Management Server console, click Configure Application Monitoring.

    This launches the Symantec ApplicationHA Configuration Wizard.

  2. Review the information on the Welcome screen and then click Next.

    The wizard lists all the supported applications for the system.

  3. On the Application Selection page, click DB2 Database Server in the Supported Applications list.

    Note:

    The wizard configures ApplicationHA to monitor DB2 instances with Intelligent Monitoring Framework (IMF).

  4. On the DB2 instance Selection panel, review the information on the listed DB2 instances.

    DB2 Instance Home

    Home directory of the created DB2 instance.

    DB2 Instance Owner

    Owner of the DB2 Database instance.

    Partition Number

    Partition number or node number of the db2sysc process.

  5. On the DB2 Instance Selection screen, select the partition number of the DB2 instances that you want to monitor and then click Configure.
  6. The wizard performs the application monitoring configuration tasks. The ApplicationHA Configuration screen displays the status of each task.

    After all the tasks are complete, click Next.

    Note:

    If the configuration tasks fail, click Diagnostic information to check the details of the failure.

    You then have to run the wizard again to configure the application monitoring.

  7. Click Finish to complete the wizard.

    This completes the application monitoring configuration.

  8. To view the status of the configured application on a managed LPAR, on the VOM Management Server console, right-click the appropriate managed LPAR and then click Manage ApplicationHA.

    The Symantec High Availability view appears.

    By default, the Component List tab appears. The tab lists each component of the configured application and the status description of each component.

    For more information on viewing and administering applications through the Veritas Operations Manager, see the Symantec ApplicationHA User's Guide.

  9. To view component dependency for the monitored application, click the Component Dependency tab.

    The component dependency graph appears.

    The graph illustrates the dependencies between a selected component group (an application or a group of inter-related components) and its components for the configured application. The left pane displays component groups and/or configured applications. The right pane displays components of the selected component group or application.

    For more information on viewing component dependency for any configured application, see the Symantec ApplicationHA User's Guide.
