EMS Problems

ROSS HANSON — Tue, 09 Jul 2002 19:52:18 GMT

I moved a FC60 to another place and installed a
VA7400 array. I am now receiving EMS messages
(Attached) and cannot figure out why.
I have gone to /etc/opt/resmon/lbin and vi'd the
file monconfig to take out any monitoring of the
FC60. It, however, did not work. Can you help me
please!

I had a similar problem with some disks I had removed but still got messages for. The messages went away after a reboot.

Did you restart ems daemon ..
# /sbin/init.d/ems stop
# /sbin/init.d/ems start

After making the changes you can use the 'E' selection to implement your changes. You could also stop/start the daemons from /sbin/init.d/ems script

Not sure if this will help but I had a similar FC60 issue on an older 10.20 server. I have no idea why this worked (is it obvious I'm not a guru), but upgrading the disgnostices fixed my problem. You can get the latest and greatest from:

www.software.hp.com -> enhancement releases -> support tools for the hp 9000

NOTE: There was a reboot

Yes, I have restarted the EMS
deamon and even rebooted the
system to no avail

If you do "vi" on monconfig it will not work. Monconfig is a executable file. You have to run the monconfig like ./monconfig. Then you have to modify the request using the M option. Then stop and start the ems by K and E.

Do the following:

* Go into monconfig and Disable monitoring.
* Delete the file /var/stm/data/psm_data
* Go back into monconfig and Enable monitoring.

This forces a rebuild of the device file.

Do you see still get the messages after reboot?

In case you don't have a downtime you may want to have a look at UEMSKBRC00009912 (att.ed)

Hello,

For now the only method to prevent EMS from trying to monitor 12H or FC60 arrays is to remove the Array Management software.

You can either move the executables only:

# cd /opt/hparray/bin
# mv ARMServer ARMServer.orig (if no 12H array is connected)
# mv AM60Srvr AM60Srvr.orig (if no FC60 array is connected)

OR

Remove the Array Manager patch:

$ swlist -l fileset |grep HPArray

If you would like to connect arrays to this system later again, it is probably easier to move the executables and move them back when
you connect the array again.

Then (K)ill EMS and (E)nable it again using /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig.

Thanks for participating in the forums,

Martin

If all you want is to stop the recurring message you can make an entry in /var/stm/data/tools/monitor/disabled_instances.

1. disable monitoring
2. Add following line to disabled_instances:
/storage/events/disks/default/1_10_0_0.1.31.0.0.0.6
3. enable monitoring

Martin,

I am now trying your idea. But
it will take me 24 hrs to know
the results.
To everyone, I am reading the
responses and trying your ideas
I have not, as yet, have had
positive results though. If
Martin's idea works I will let
you all know

Thank You

Tim,

you may want to have a look at my att-ment:
could be time-saver next time you have to add sth to disabled_instances after a config change.

Ross,

does "trying your ideas" next to "not, as yet, have had positive results though" mean
you still get the EMS messages after addition to disabled_instances? (pls confirm)

My understanding was that this stops EMS reporting on those devices- worked fine for me during a migration from AL to fabric of EMC disks.
