Displaying Primary/Standby status for a clustered Windows servers

Mike C Dec 30, 2009 11:42 AM

I am trying to figure something out. I have 2 windows servers as part of a cluster, would like to display which is primamry and which is standby and also trip an alert when they failover, does anyone know how to do this?

I wonder if you did an snmpwalk on a Windows server in this configuration if you'd find some OID that talked about its primary/standby status like you do with HSRP on Cisco routers. It'd be worth a look.

If you have APM I wonder if you might use WMI to monitor a cluster class? Here's a link to Microsoft about that class http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372876(VS.85).aspx
Also, I think there's a CLUSTER.LOG file which may be monitored with APM. I don't know that for sure, but if I learn more then I'll pass it on.
