TCP Event Monitor Notification

[Alexandre Viotti]

Hi,

I am closing some ports in a HP-UX 10.20 system. I don't want to listen on any port for the Event Monitor Notification Service.

A port is always listenning for each selected resource ( Armon, disk_em, dm_memory, etc.).
How can i disable then?

I tryed to use monconfig, but there are no way to disable TCP ports there, you just change it.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Alexandre

Ok!

From the manual:

"Where Did the TCP Requests Come From?"

"You may notice that most resources have a TCP monitoring request that you did not create. This request is created automatically by the Peripheral Status Monitor (PSM) to allow it to gather event information from each monitor."

Should I disable PSM? I just don't want that the following conections exists:

armmon 1380 root 8u inet 0x03b2d100 0t4078 TCP localhost:1121->localhost:1118 (ESTABLISHED)
disk_em 1373 root 6u inet 0x03bff200 0t16151 TCP localhost:1122->localhost:1118 (ESTABLISHED)
...
...
...

Thanks,

Alexandre
