After configuring application monitoring you may want to perform routine maintenance tasks on those applications. These tasks may or may not involve stopping the application but may temporarily affect the state of the applications and its dependent components. If there is any change to the application status, Symantec ApplicationHA may try to restore the application state. This may potentially affect the maintenance tasks that you intend to perform on those applications.
If stopping the application is not an option, you can suspend application monitoring and create a window for performing such maintenance tasks. When application monitoring is suspended, ApplicationHA freezes the application configuration, disables the application heartbeat, and stops sending the heartbeat to VCS.
The Symantec High Availability view provides the following options:
Click to suspend the application monitoring for the applications that are configured on the virtual machine. During the time the monitoring is suspended, Symantec ApplicationHA does not monitor the state of the application and its dependent components. The Symantec High Availability tab does not display the current status of the application. If there is any failure in the application or its components, ApplicationHA takes no action.
Click to resume the application monitoring for the applications configured on the virtual machine. You may have to click the link in the Symantec High Availability view to see the current status of the application.
When application monitoring is restarted from a suspended state, ApplicationHA does not enable the application heartbeat. Click to enable it.
If you have made changes to the application that is being monitored, then those changes may not reflect in the application monitoring configuration. In such cases, you may have to unconfigure and reconfigure the application monitoring.
