Strange EMS alert

[Richard I Curtis]

I have an old HPUX 11.00 server, which keeps generating events in syslog (all the same) such as:

May 9 08:22:13 hx000010 syslog: CRITICAL Event Code=199; Description=Lost connection to host.; Unknown FRU Location; Hardware Address=0/8/0/0.1.1.0.0.0.0; Unknown Vendor ID; Unknown Model ID; Unknown Product S/N; Latest information on this event at http://docs.hp.com/hpux/content/hardware/ems/RemoteMonitor.htm#199

I have even disabled EMS (via /sbin/init.d/diagnostic stop), but they keep on coming... question is, what is generating these alerts ?


They make no sense when you look at an ioscan:

ctl 39 0/3/0/0.10.1.255.0.0.0 sctl CLAIMED DEVICE HP HSV100
/dev/rscsi/c14t0d0
ba 5 0/4 lba CLAIMED BUS_NEXUS Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
ba 6 0/5 lba CLAIMED BUS_NEXUS Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
ba 7 0/8 lba CLAIMED BUS_NEXUS Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
ba 8 0/9 lba CLAIMED BUS_NEXUS Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
fc 1 0/9/0/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter
/dev/td1
fcp 3 0/9/0/0.20 fcp CLAIMED INTERFACE FCP Domain


There is nothing at that path...

How can I supress these alerts as they keep triggering SNMP traps causing loads of false alerts?

Shalom,

You got the famous LUN0 is not assigned so the disk array is detected instead error.

If LUN0 is not presented to your machine, HP-UX often detects the disk array as LUN0. It is not a disk so it blows up EMS and SNMP traps left and right.

There is no software fix. Have the SAN admin present a LUN as LUN0 to the machine and it will stop happening.

This host is connected to an EVA3000, but when I go into the EVA, I only have the options to present luns 7 or above.. (I have luns 1-6 already) but no option to present as lun 0... Am I missing something silly here?

This is probably and old device that was added to the monitoring when it existed.

I think you need to look into

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

This might help
