Paranoid message & Event Monitor Notification

[Angela L. Shepherd_1]

I use Procomm Plus to telnet into a server. I'm
receiving the following message:

Connect to: paranoid, IP address xxx.xxx.xx.xx You connected from the machine supportdba, IP address: xxx.xxx.xx.x. Does anyone know what file I need to update to resolve this problem. Paranoid isn't the name of my server.

and

Can I stop Event Monitor Notification from reporting critical errors on disk that I'm not using without disabling everything?

Hi,

Check your /etc/hosts file for that ip_adress
and hostname of your server. If you ping to your server_ip_adress, is the problem still exist ?

You cannot disable EMS H/W Monitoring through the disk_em monitor for a single disk. You can disable it for all or for none of your disks only. For any changes of your EMS H/W Monitor conifguration run /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig (It is menu driven and easy to use).

For the unlikely case that you use the EMS HA Monitor diskmond for monitoring you can use /etc/opt/resmon/monitors/diskmond.config to exclude volume groups from being monitored. See the man page diskmond(1m) for details.

EMS Notifications can be removed for each disk by add these to the disabled_instances file. You can use /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/moncheck to list all devices monitored. Then add entries to your /var/stm/data/tools/monitor/disabled_instances file for the devices that you do not want monitored.
For example :
/storage/events/disks/default/0_12_0_0.8.0.0.0.0.1
or
/storage/events/disks/default/0_12_0_0.8*
/storage/events/disks/default/1_4_0_0.8*

After that file is edited, then re-enable monitoring using
/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig , select "E" to Enable Monitoring.

Tyrone, thx for the correction! This was new to me. I checked this information and you are right. One note might be helpful though:

For those instances listed in the disabled_instances file, no monitoring
requests will show up in the list displayed by the monconfig "C)heck monitoring" command.

NOTE: This does not mean that the monitor will stop polling the device. It just means that any events will not be forwarded to the log files, based on information in the *.sapcfg files.
