Services and applications agents
Internet Information Services agent
■
The MSMQ agent works with the Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) service.
The MSMQ agent creates an MSMQ service for an MSMQ resource, brings the
MSMQ service online, takes it offline, and monitors its status.
Internet Information Services agent
The Internet Information Services (IIS) agent provides high availability to sites
configured using Microsoft IIS. Specifically, the agent brings IIS sites online,
monitors their status, and takes them offline.
The agent provides two ways of monitoring application pools associated with IIS
Web sites:
■
■
One IIS resource configures a Web site and sets monitoring options for
application pools associated with the site.
One IIS resource configures a Web site; other resources configure individual
application pools.
The IIS agent supports intelligent resource monitoring and uses Intelligent
Monitoring Framework (IMF) for resource state change notifications. IMF-based
monitoring support is limited only to monitoring the IIS services (FTP service,
World Wide Web Publishing Service) that are necessary for the functioning of
IIS. The agent traps the Windows service related events and takes appropriate
action if a configured service stops or fails to respond. IMF is not used for
monitoring the availability of the sites configured.
For more information about IMF, refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Administrator’s
Guide.
Note: The IIS agent does not support IPv6 for IIS 6.0 or earlier versions.
