  • Automated monitoring and reporting of health issues for a virtual server
    Patent number: 7805511
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for automated monitoring and reporting of health issues for a virtual server is described herein. A virtual server may comprise virtual-server components distributed over two or more server systems, the components being used collectively to provide data-access service to client systems. A virtual server may further comprise virtual-server components that are distributed over one or more storage systems. Each server system of a virtual server may implement a health module that automatically monitors and reports health issues regarding the functions/operations or performance of the virtual server. In some embodiments, the health modules executing on the server systems work in conjunction to monitor and report on the virtual-server components (comprising physical and/or virtual components) of the virtual server.
