Repeated EMS Event Code=199 in syslog.

[Rajesh SB]

Hi Experts,
One of our server is started logging below messages repeatedly.

But, I didn't find any h/w connected at Address=0/9/0/0.8.0.255.6.14.0 & Hardware Address=0/0/1/1.2.0 but even getting the messages.

Any pointers on this. Also verified the health of h/w using "stm", everything seems green.

Hi Luk,

I verified against all the attached devices.
Strange to see this log message.

How can I stop this irrelevent envents?
Any EMS configuration can need to do?

Hi Rajesh

U can delete some monitoring requests thorugh /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig. It is a menu driven interface.

Your server might have been connected to storage some time back. Now, it is disconnected. You can ignore this message as far as you are quite sure that not connected to any storage.

The event is being generated by CommandView SDM, and is just being reported by RemoteMonitor.

One possibility is, as already suggested, that you've disconnected some hardware, but CVSDM is not aware of this for some reason.

What version of OnlineDiags and CVSDM do you have? There were some problems that should be fixed in recent versions of both (e.g. 1.06 of CVSDM or later).
