Hello everyone,
I have a customer that wants to design a failover/fault tolerant
soluction such that all SPECTRUM data/events/alarms are funnelled through
one primary SpectroServer that forwards alarms over to a Netcool object
server. Please refer to the attached diagram and let me know if this
conceptual design is feasible. Thanks.
Using Spectrum just to send alarms kind of defeats the purpose ... as
its primary function is to act as a NFM and not as a NPM.
The above scenario implies 2 SS with failover backups (distributed ?).
As it was discussed in the past on the list, the Alarm Notifier (which I
assume you must be using it to forward alarms to Netcool) is not fault
tolerant so you really don't have an option in the proposed scenario.
Maybe if you monitor the failover process (from Netcool ?) you could
trigger Alarm Notifier start on the failover and then stop it on
failback. Look under the 9.0 documents for failover to see how this kind
of monitoring could be done.
hth,
