services, and ensure compatibility with any other applications designed to perform automatic event handling.
Unintended failover scan results in the loss of data and unnecessary system downtime.
To set up automated VC Profile Failover:
1. Enable HP SIM automatic discovery by selecting Options
→Discovery. Discovery must be enabled to
discover servers within the environment.
2. Enable active event handling by selecting Options
→Events→Automatic Event Handling→New
Task . This step launches a wizard to aid in the creation of a task.
3. Use the wizard to select a name for the event handler.
4. To monitor the selected CPU and memory-related failures, select the Profile Failover Trigger Events
event collection.
5. Select the systems that the event handler must monitor. You can select specific systems or a collection
of systems.
6. Select Run custom CMS tool, and then select VCEM Profile Failover by Hostname.
7. If there is a specific time the event handler must be active, choose a time filter.
8. Review the selected events, systems, and actions for the automatic event handler.
VC Profile Failovers now occur whenever any designated system generates one of the events within the event
collection. When an event triggers a VC Profile Failover, a VCEM Failover job appears to have originated
from the administrator user account and fail over the system that generated the event.
