Re: Receive 50+ email alerts most are months old
If the system is unreachable and assignee is not "server unavailable" as the beginning purpose follows by the actions with email to .... and assign event to "server unavailable"
The event works sequentially so only non-assigned events are mailed.
You need a runonce-job assigning all exisiting events with the assignee to avoid "spam".

In step 4 activate assign to and enter a new assign like server unreachable. Save the event and reopen it. In step 2 add a new event assignee is server unreachable. You can choose your new assign via dropdown. Save the event.
This works for future events. To avoid the old ones choose the list all events and sort them by events. Mark all unreachable events and assign your new assignee. Depending on the number of events you can create also a list with search criteria server is unreachable.
That is the workaround. If anyone has a better one please post it.
Greetings
Guido

Re: Receive 50+ email alerts most are months old
Some action would trigger a problem (like a change to one of the Auto Event handlers properties or disabling an alert group). Server events would also trigger the alerts as well. In the middle of the night, the server would go nuts. Somehow SIM would get caught in a loop and start sending out old alerts.
To clarify, admin would change a SIM setting or an event would happen (like server unreachable) and the software would get caught in loop and send out barrage of alerts. Alert dates went back as far as two months. We would get anywhere from 150 - 1000 alerts that forwarded to about 15 different two way pagers the admin staff uses. Do the quick math and you'll realize how annoying, frustrating & expensive it was. Only fix was to shut down SIM service.
HP has spent a great deal of time with me and has written a patch for my system. The patch has been in place for a week and so far no problems. I would guess that this patch would be included in SIM 4.2 or 4.3. But I was not told that by anyone at HP.
Hope that helps..

Re: Receive 50+ email alerts most are months old
I had this problem with the old CIM using MSDE instead of sql. Reaching the 2 GB limit the system crashed by sending about 20.000 mails.
In SIM it is not possible to create an event similar to system is unreachable AND this event is uncleard. (auto-cleared when system is reachable) A similar event was possible in CIM but not migrated.

Re: Receive 50+ email alerts most are months old
Take a look at the following web-site:
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/21987.html
I haven't tested it selves yet, but I assume that will work fine. It's worth to try.

Re: Receive 50+ email alerts most are months old
Recieved the patch from HP last week. It's a bug in HP SIM 4.1 & will be included in V4.2:
"If an HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) Automatic Event Handling task is configured to Send e-mail or Send page as the action on event and the task is subsequently Disabled and then Enabled, all the previous (old) events are resent. This could potentially amount to hundreds of e-mails and/or pager messages being sent to the designated recipients (an e-mail / pager message "storm").
Note: This may also occur (intermittently) when an Automatic Event Handling Task is edited. "
Installed patch on friday & am in the process of testing. So far, so good. No mail storm yet. I will continue testing over the next few days & update with results.
Rgds
Al.
