RST EMS listener start failed core dump

[Franky Leeuwerck_2]

Hello everyone,

After restarting one of our HP-UX 11 9000/800/L1000-44 models, we see this error in the boot log :

Starting the RST EMS listener
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S910rstEMSlistener start":
----------------------------
/sbin/rc2.d/S910rstEMSlistener[136]: 1647 Abort(coredump)
"/sbin/rc2.d/S910rstEMSlistener start" FAILED


Can someone tell me
- what this EMS listener is about ?
- if I need to try starting it up ?
And if this is the case, how I can start it up ?

Thanks in advance,

Franky Leeuwerck

hi franky,

EMS is event monitoring service and it enables hardware monitoring...

can you check what is the command in the line 136 of your /sbin/init.d/rstEMSlistener

The RST EMS Listener is part of ISEE (which is hardware diagnostic utilities):
http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/5187-4230/00/00/11-con.html#enableisee See Enabling ISEE

Is this a new install of ISEE?

You may need this patch:

Patch Name: PHSS_29238
Patch Description: s700_800 11.x ISEE EMS event too large error

Check if it is installed:
# swlist -l fileset -a state |grep 29238

Hi Naveej,

This is an extract of the script :
129 # start the listener daemon
130 if [ `validateFile "$bindir/rstlistener" /opt` = 0 ]
131 then
132 ls -l $bindir/rstlistener | read perm pid own grp other
133 if [ \( "$perm" = "-r-x------" \) -a \
134 \( "$own" = "bin" \) ]
135 then
136 $bindir/rstlistener 2>>$daemonTraceFile
137 rval=$?
138 else
139 rval=2
140 echo "ERROR: $bindir/rstlistener has bad owner or permis
sion"\
141 >> $daemonTraceFile
142 fi
143 else
144 rval=2
145 echo "ERROR: $bindir/rstlistener is not a valid file"\
146 >> $daemonTraceFile
147 fi

Hello Cheryl,

The patch you mention, is not installed.
This is not an new installation.

Hi Cheryl,

I am not sure about the patch. It's meant only for the situation where the EMS sends a large message. The error in this case occurs at booting the EMS listener.
