How to enable evweb for ever?

Marilia — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 13:34:06 GMT

Hello Experts,

I am using the following command to get power supply alarm information:

# evweb eventviewer -L

But this command stopped working and I wonder if I can enable it forever.

Thanks,
Marilia

What is your subscription details?

#evweb subscribe -L

Is your sfmdb running? You my restart it and try.

# /sbin/init.d/sfmdb stop

# /sbin/init.d/sfmdb start

Hello!

I am sorry for taking so long to answer.
But I still have the problem. This is a production machine so I have to be very carefull, what does these commands do:

# /sbin/init.d/sfmdb stop

# /sbin/init.d/sfmdb start

I am not sure if I can run them anytime or should I ask for a maintenance window.
The thing is that # evweb eventviewer -L
is not working for all the power supply events (on/off)

The first time I unplugged the power supply (23:21) I checked the "evweb eventviewer -L " command and got the corresponding power information below.

EvArchNo Severity Event # Event Category Archive Time Summary
========= =========== ============== ============== =================== ==============
87 Information 152 System Power 2011-01-21 23:30:32 Power suppl...
86 Information 143 System Power 2011-01-21 23:30:31 Power suppl...
85 Warning 137 System Power 2011-01-21 23:21:04 Power suppl...
84 Warning 153 System Power 2011-01-21 23:21:03 Power suppl...

After I plugged and unplugged 4 times (until 01:18) same information was displayed (no update regarding the new power supply events was displayed), as you can see also on log_cmd.txt.

EvArchNo Severity Event # Event Category Archive Time Summary
========= =========== ============== ============== =================== ==============
87 Information 152 System Power 2011-01-21 23:30:32 Power suppl...
86 Information 143 System Power 2011-01-21 23:30:31 Power suppl...

84 Warning 153 System Power 2011-01-21 23:21:03 Power suppl...

The questions are:

1) Why the "evweb eventviewer -L" command is not showing all the power suplly events?

2) why log keeps the same information?
And if this is the normal behaviour, then: log shouldn't be clear every 5 minutes in order to avoid to have same alarm even when is cleared?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

If the file /sbin/init.d/sfmdb exists you can start or stop the service.
By other way, they are customized by sourcing in configuration files found in the /etc/rc.config.d directory. These configuration files contain variables that you can set.
Usually a main variable setting is available in configuration files found in the /etc/rc.config.d directory. In any case, if you can enable or disable the service executing /sbin/init.d/sfmdb start|stop thats means that this main variable setting is on. Also could be that you needs create into /sbin/init.d a file with the following content:
#!/sbin/sh

RVAL=0
case $1 in
start_msg)
echo "Starting evweb Server"
;;
'start')
/sbin/init.d/sfmdb start
;;
'stop')
/sbin/init.d/sfmdb stop
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
RVAL=1
;;
esac
exit $RVAL

Finally, from /sbin/rc3.d you must create a symbolic link name with "S" prefix (Start) that aims to /sbin/init.d/ to start procedure, then in /sbin/rc0.d you must create a similar symbolic link with "K" prefix (Kill) to stop procedure, this is optional because when the server go down this route definitions will be off.

You can check this brief document:
http://www.unixhub.com/docs/hpux/hpux_boot.html
or read hp-ux online manuals:
#man rc

Rgds.

Hello Jose,

I will check if /sbin/init.d/sfmdb exists.

But I still don't know if you understood my problem, maybe is my fault. The "evweb eventviewer -L" command works intermittent.

Sometimes "evweb eventviewer -L" command prints out all the events when I removed/reconnect the power supply and sometimes it doesn't print out.

Kind Regards,
Marilia
