EMS: The selected monitor is currently not available

[Rainer von Bongartz]

I'm trying to configure a monitor in the Event Monitoring Services (EMS)

Selecting the Resource Hierarcy
/storage/status/disk_arrays in SAM I always get the response
ERROR: The selected monitor is currently not abailable

Currently BTW. in this context means at least for a couple of hours now.

What can be the problem and how to fix it ??

Hi Rainer,

I suggest you forget about SAM and start the
program directly from it's source.

# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

Have a look at the attached document about EMS
it discusses tapes, but the concept is the
same for setting things up.

Good Luck

Hi,
Make sure that you are using latest version of EMS .

hi,
To identify the EMS release in use on your system, perform the
following: In the directory /etc/opt/resmon/lbin run:

$what p_client registrar
p_client:
EMS (A.03.20)
registrar:
EMS (A.03.20)

You can use SAM to configure the monitor request.


As a prerequisite you should enable monitoring with monconfig.

# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

If you did this already, I suggest to disable and enable monitoring with monconfig and retry.

If this wasn't successful, check whether the disk_em process is running. If it does, kill it and retry.

You might want to check the logs in /etc/opt/resmon/log.

It is a good idea to run a recent version of the OnlineDiag bundle and to have patches for EMS 3.20 installed.
