Domain Controller Availability attributes

The Domain Controller Availability attributes display domain controller availability information. This attribute group has the option to cache the data it collects for some configurable period.

DCA Bind Domain Naming Master The current bind status of the Domain Naming Master. The bind status can be Success, Failure, or Not Available.

DCA Bind Infrastructure Master The current bind status of the Infrastructure Master. The bind status can be Success, Failure, or Not Available.

DCA Bind PDC Master The current bind status of the PDC Master. The bind status can be Success, Failure, or Not Available.

DCA Bind RID Master The current bind status of the RID Master. The bind status can be Success, Failure, or Not Available.

DCA Bind Schema Master The current bind status of the Schema Master. The bind status can be Success, Failure, or Not Available.

DCA Domain Name Default domain name associated with this server.

DCA Domain Naming Master The Domain Naming Master that is defined in the domain.

DCA DCs In Site The number of domain controller servers in the local site.

DCA DCs In Site Bind The number of domain controller servers that can bind in the local site.

DCA Forest Name Forest name associated with this server.

DCA FSMO Role The FSMO role, if any, for the current DC. Valid values include Domain Naming, RID Pool, Infrastructure, Schema, PDC, and none.

DCA GCs The defined number of Global Catalog servers.

DCA GCs Bind The number of Global Catalog servers that are bounded.

DCA GCs In Site The number of Global Catalog servers defined in the local site.

DCA GCs In Site Bind The number of Global Catalog servers that can bind in the local site.

DCA GCs In Site Pinged The number of pinged Global Catalog servers in the local site.

DCA GCs Pinged The number of pinged Global Catalog servers.

DCA Global Catalog Server Specifies whether this domain controller is a global catalog server.

DCA Hostname The FQDN for this server.

DCA Infrastructure Master The Infrastructure Master that is defined in the domain.

DCA PDC Master The PDC Master that is defined in the domain.

DCA Ping Domain Naming Master The ping time for Domain Naming Master. Note: -1 indicates Undefined and -2 indicates Timed Out.

DCA Ping Infrastructure Master The ping time for Infrastructure Master. Note: -1 indicates Undefined and -2 indicates Timed Out.

DCA Ping PDC Master The ping time for PDC Master. Note: -1 indicates Undefined and -2 indicates Timed Out.

DCA Ping RID Master The ping time for RID Master. Note: -1 indicates Undefined and -2 indicates Timed Out.

DCA Ping Schema Master The ping time for Schema Master. Note: -1 indicates Undefined and -2 indicates Timed Out.

DCA Previous RID Master The previously defined RID Master. Attributes based on previous values are valid for situations only.

DCA Previous Domain Naming Master The previously defined Domain Naming Master. Attributes based on previous values are valid for situations only.

DCA Previous Infrastructure Master The previously defined Infrastructure Master. Attributes based on previous values are valid for situations only.

DCA Previous Schema Master The previously defined Schema Master. Attributes based on previous values are valid for situations only.

DCA Previous PDC Master The previously defined PDC Master. Attributes based on previous values are valid for situations only.

DCA Repl Partners The assigned number of replication partners.

DCA Repl Partners Pinged The pinged number of replication partners.

DCA RID Master The RID Master that is defined in the domain.

DCA Schema Master The Schema Master that is defined in the domain.

DCA Site Name The local site name.

DCA Time Difference The time on the domain controller where the agent is installed minus the time on the computer (in the same domain) where the gtimserv flag is set. If the domain controller cannot find the good time server in the domain, then the time difference is calculated from the preferred good time server, which is the PDC of the root domain.

Note:
To ensure that the time difference is calculated correctly, Windows Time service must run on the domain controller where the agent is installed and on the time server that is used to calculate the DCA Time Difference attribute value.

DCA Time Server Name The name of the good time server or the preferred good time server. Good time server is the server on which the gtimeserv flag is set, and the preferred good time server is the PDC of the domain.

DCA Time Server Type Specifies whether the type of time server is a good time server or a preferred good time server.

Server Name The managed system name. The format is hostname:agent_code.

Examples include spark:K3Z or deux.raleigh.ibm.com:K3Z.

In workspace queries, set this attribute equal to the NODE environment variable value to populate the workspace with data. This attribute is generally not included in situations, unless you want to customize the situation for a specific managed system.

Timestamp Date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Management Server samples the data. Standard character timestamp format is (CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm), where the following measures apply:

C

Century

YY

Year

MM

Month

DD

Day

HH

Hour

MM

Minute

SS

Second

mmm

Millisecond

Use the simple text strings described in the timestamp format table. For example, enter 1101009130500000 to express October 9, 2010, 1:05:00 PM.
