Abstract
A clustered computing data processing system can be configured for inventory management in a highly available cluster. The system can include a cluster of computers managed by a cluster agent and providing high availability for a hosted application in the cluster. The system also can include a systems management tool executing in memory of a host computer system and coupled to the cluster agent and maintaining an inventory of data pertaining to the computers in the cluster. The system yet further can include an Internet protocol (IP) alias discover module coupled to the tool. The module can include program code executing in the memory of the host computer system so as to receive notification from the cluster agent of a change to addressing data for the computers in the cluster and, responsive to the notification, to update the inventory to reflect the change to the addressing data.
