Operations Sentinel and the various Operations Sentinel agents support the following types of resiliency:
Multiple servers and workstations
Multiple instances of Operations Sentinel Console connected to different Operations Sentinel servers can simultaneously run on one or more Operations Sentinel workstations.
Concurrent monitoring
You can concurrently monitor a computer system by using a primary and a secondary Operations Sentinel server.
Automatic switch of the controlling Operations Sentinel server
You can control a managed system from the primary Operations Sentinel server, with automated switch to the secondary server when the primary Operations Sentinel server fails.
Note: Monitoring includes sending alerts using SP-AMS; control includes sending commands to the managed system.
The type of resiliency you can use depends on the following:
Types of systems being managed.
Software involved in monitoring and control.
Type of connection and data path between Operations Sentinel server and each managed system.
