PSM and or EMS ???? I am confused

[kate32]

Hi guys,

need some explanation and helps please.
I have enabled PSM to monitore the HW and add some modification to send email to our service desk.
but now do I have also to configure via SAM EMS ? or PSM is enough because I don;t really see the difference about the monitoring it is exactly the same things that I want to monitor:
storage
cpu
mem
tape
well standard things.

thanks in advance.
Cheers
K.

Note: I am in old very old hp-ux and can't yet upgrade the os (11.0)

To monitor storage, cpu, mem tape you need to configure EMS(Event Monitoring services). I never heard of PSM, could you please abbrivate PSM

Cheers,

Ravi.

Hi
When I said PSM I mean the Monitoring Request Manager and I use the command below to configure what I want to monitor :
/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Hi Kate,
You use monconfig to configure where EMS notifications get sent when problems are detected by the EMS HW monitors. There are already default rules in place, so syslog, the root user and event.log will get notifications for most events.

Peripheral Status Monitoring is also set up by default, and I don't think it uses monconfig; can you give a bit more detail about what you're trying to do?

You would use the Resource Monitoring in SAM to configure monitoring of disk space usage and other resources. SAM doesn't have anything to do with the EMS HW monitors.
