CA Vtape Health Check State Management

Each CA Vtape Subsystem issues a heartbeat update every sixty seconds to CA OPS/MVS. This update concerns the current operational health state of the respective Subsystem. If the Subsystem detects a health state change, an immediate update is generated so that CA OPS/MVS has a constant operational health state view of each Subsystem. The current health state information or the lack of a heartbeat update can be used by CA OPS/MVS to initiate actions or warnings concerning a Subsystem or a general system problem.

Note: For more information on using the CA OPS/MVS Health Check application, see the CA OPS/MVS documentation.
