Our goal is to monitor the event when our Active/passive cluster fails over
to the second node, indicating a problem on the primary node.
We are thinking of monitoring thru SNMP with a MIB.

Question 1: Where can we find a MIB to minitor Cluster failover to the
secondary node?

Question 2: If there is no MIB, how to you recommend we monitor Cluster
failover?

Thanks

Tom,

MSCS does not have a specific MIB, AFAIK.

If you want to monitor events in a cluster, I can think of a couple of
options:
1) Get a monitoring software that specifically checks for MSCS events, such
as ClusterX or Microsoft Operations Manager.
2) Setup a generic application resource in MSCS that would launch some form
of notification upon coming online. That way, if the group fails over, this
resource will send out a notification.

You can read more about option 2 here:
