topic monitoring MSCS cluster on hyperV VM's in Server Management - Systems Insight Manager https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/monitoring-mscs-cluster-on-hyperv-vm-s/m-p/4750178#M43101 I'm just starting with HP SIM. I'm looking at monitoring my Hyper VM machines which so far it's doing a great job. HP Sim can see that two of the VM's are setup as a MSCS cluster and the cluster name, but when I try to use the cluster monitor I receive "Unable to retrieve the Microsoft Cluster Service data". I found old SIM 5.2 articles <A href="http://setspn.blogspot.com/2009/01/discovering-mscs-in-hp-sim.html." target="_blank">http://setspn.blogspot.com/2009/01/discovering-mscs-in-hp-sim.html.</A> Though the file they reference does not exist. What might I be missing?

Is this something that can be configured on the cluster or not available since I'm running it in the VM configuration?

I followed some tips I found in other posts with manually adding cluster location reg keys etc but I have not got it working yet. I have 2003 clusters that work fine in the SIM and they are correctly identified as clusters via SNMP.

I saw the registry fixes as well, but they references a file that didn't exist so no luck there either.<BR /><BR />Time to keep digging! There's got to be a way to get this to work. :) Fri, 11 Feb 2011 13:08:10 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/monitoring-mscs-cluster-on-hyperv-vm-s/m-p/4750183#M43106 Lee Duvall 2011-02-11T13:08:10Z
