Abstract

This paper describes a modeling framework for integrated fault management of distributed systems. The model integrates all different layers of distributed systems such as application, system, and network layer in a single, consistent view. This enables generic management applications to perform their tasks across layer boundaries of the distributed system without knowledge about the specific details. The focus is on fault management issues. Dependencies between resources critical for the availability of the distributed system are modeled using relationships. Generic fault management applications are hereby enabled to determine the root cause of a distributed system failure automatically. The SAP R/3 application serves as an example to demonstrate the capabilities of the modeling framework.
