DataONTAP.MetroCluster.Monitoring.Rule.Network.Ping (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

DataONTAP.MetroCluster.Monitoring.Rule.Network.Ping is the rule that checks whether the storage controllers are reachable on their primary network interfaces via ICMP.

Configuration

Several overrides are available for this rule. SyncTime and IntervalSeconds determine when and how often the rule runs. TimeoutSeconds determines how long OperationsManager waits for this rule to complete.

Resolutions

If you suspect a problem with this rule, check the OnCommand and Operations Manager event logs on the management server running the rule. Also ensure that ICMP packets are routed properly through your network infrastructure.
