How to start EMS

[aruns_s]

Hi,

I would like to EMS monitoring for my superdome running with HPUX 11.23. Would u please guide me how can I start EMS and make sure that hardware errors are monitored? I believe EMS would be enabled by default.But, I can't find any update in /var/opt/resmon/log files .
Please advice

See KB doc ID: CMTKBAN00000727

To start diagnostics while the system is running:

/sbin/init.d/diagnostic start

To start EMS monitors while the system is running:
/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

choose "e" to enable EMS


regards,
ivan

Hi,

You also need to start the hpservices for ISEE event generation and sent to hp backend team.


Thanks,

Hi Arun,
Yes, the EMS HW monitors should be installed and enabled by default.

Run /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/moncheck to check the monitors are configured.

You can run 'send_test_event disk_em', for example, and see if you get a test event (no. 103) generated in /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log.

You should also check you have a current version of OnlineDiags installed. See the supported versions here - http://www.docs.hp.com/en/diag/stm/stm_upd.htm#table

Yes, EMS should be running by default. It is most often started up for you via /etc/inittab
