Cluster Enviornment NPM V7

Question

IS there a way to monitor a clustered enviornment with NPM v7?  Not just the virtual IP but also all drives in the cluster.

I am monitoring each member of the cluster.  What I'm asking is:  While monitoring the cluster if server 1 with drivr "Q" is bounced, will npm still see drive "Q" as being available because it failed over to server 4.  I don't want an alert if drive "Q" is available in the cluster.

Sure will as long as you monitor cluster managed drives via the virtual name. When a roll over happens you'll see something like this in the event log:

2/21/2007 09:58 AM  	 	VirtualNode1-Q:\ Quorum (Q) 5ada0adc- Volume has reappeared. Data collection resumed.

2/21/2007 09:28 AM 		VirtualNode1-Q:\ Quorum (Q) 5ada0adc- Volume no longer exists. Data collection suspended.

I think what he means is that in addition to monitoring the cluster, you also need to monitor each member of the cluster.
