Systems and methods for providing automated diagnostic services for a
cluster computer system are provided. One of many possible embodiments is
a method for providing automated diagnostic services for a cluster
computer system comprising a plurality of nodes. Each of the plurality of
nodes may provide an application to a plurality of clients. Briefly
described, one such method comprises the steps of: receiving information
related to a plurality of drives associated with the plurality of nodes
in the cluster computer system, the drives defining one or more logical
volume groups; based on the information related to the drives,
determining whether the drives conform to a predefined condition related
to failover capability such that the one or more logical volume groups
transition in the event of a failover; and, if the drives do not conform
to the predefined condition, providing a warning.
