EMS hardware monitoring in HPUX

EMS hardware monitoring in HP UNIX:

By default, EMS HW Monitoring is enabled on your system (In 11i v3, SFM is enabled by default).
By default, messages regarding major warnings, critical events on hardware being monitored and it will be :

1. Written to /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
2. E-mailed to root

To send an test event to disk_em monitor

# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/send_test_event disk_em

All the events will be saved in - /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log.

EMS hardware monitoring can be reconfigured using the below file (Monitoring Request Manager)

- /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

To stop or start EMS Hardware Monitoring

# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig
Press K for Kill (Disable) Event Monitoring
Press E for Enabling Event Monitoring

To check the current Monitoring status

# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/moncheck

o/p will be like below

>/StorageAreaNetwork/events/SAN_Monitor ... NOT MONITORING.
(Possibly there is no hardware to monitor.)

>/system/events/cpu/cmc ... OK.
For /system/events/cpu/cmc/cache_errors:
Events >= 3 (MAJOR WARNING) Goto SYSLOG
Events >= 3 (MAJOR WARNING) Goto EMAIL; addr=root
Events >= 1 (INFORMATION) Goto TEXTLOG; file=/var/opt/resmon/log/event.log

.....
.....
>/system/events/system_status ... OK.
For /system/events/system_status/ui_host/aemhpvm1:
Events >= 1 (INFORMATION) Goto TEXTLOG; file=/var/opt/resmon/log/event.log
Events >= 3 (MAJOR WARNING) Goto SYSLOG
Events >= 3 (MAJOR WARNING) Goto EMAIL; addr=root

How to stop monitoring for particular hardware?

If you want to stop getting monitoring alerts for any devices, add the H/W address of the device not to be monitored
in "/var/stm/data/tools/monitor/disabled_instances" file and restart (stop and start) EMS services.

1.Add the HW address in to - /var/stm/data/tools/monitor/disabled_instances
2.Restart the EMS services ( #/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig )
