Problem with EMS & HyperFabric

Igor Streharski — Thu, 18 Mar 2004 12:37:25 GMT

Hi all,

The setup is as follows:
- rp5470 (HP-UX 11i, patches 12/2003)
- 2 x HyperFabric2 adapter (A6386A)
- HyperFabric software latest version 11.11.03

I cannot get /net/interfaces/clic in the resls output!
When I type:
resls /net/interfaces
it says:
/net/interfaces/lan
/net/interfaces/clic

But then when I type: resls /net/interfaces/clic
it returns an error, saying that the resource does not exist.

In the /var/adm/clic_log there is also the following message:
No EMS monitor registered - unable to notify external packages of failure

The same happens for both cards, and the similar happens when I try to add a monitoring request, either via SAM or through terminal interface.
Otherwise, the cards seem to work just fine!

Any ideas about how to remedy this situation?

TIA,
Igor

Are there luns assigned to these cards.

A common problem with cards that don't have anything assigned to lun0 is the disk array gets misdetected as a disk. But it doesn't work like a disk and EMS gets... um... well, lets say confused.

Steve,

HyperFabric is LAN, not SAN...

Igor, which version of EMS are you using?
did you have de EMS HA monitors installed?

Hi Igor,

Check if you have configured HyperFabric Event Monitoring Service properly. The steps to do this can be found here:

Also, pls take a look at the troubleshooting section of the HyperFabric Admin Guide:
