Failover notifications

To view failover notifications, ensure that SAM is configured as described in “Configure the Failover Manager as a source for SAM” on page 57.

Failover Manager generated notifications lists the impacted classes and possible events generated by the Failover Manager in the Notification Log Console. Failover Manager generated notificationsprovides a sample of the notifications displayed in the Notification Log Console.

When primary SAM failover happens, notifications are displayed in secondary SAM when it becomes the primary.
