WBEM event subscriptions for HP-UX systems managed by HP SIM 5.3

[Alexandr Prismakov]

It is problem with subscribing to WBEM events on HP-UX.
I have followed all HP instructions without success.
I have used GUI and CLI...

mxwbemsub -a CMSNAME -n NODENAME

Create Subscriptions for:
NODENAME
Indication subscription successfully created.
All seems ok...
!!!! But next command says:
mxwbemsub -l CMSNAME -n NODENAME

Filter instances of Subscriptions for:

NODENAME
No matching subscriptions found.

GUI gives no output but returns status Failed when I use Repair Agent

cimserver restarted many times...

Additional info:

It is production environment and i can't reboot the managed node. What can i do?

HELP ME PLEASE!

[Maxim Revutskiy]

For some reason mxwbemsub -l CMSNAME -n NODENAME sometimes does not show that SIM have WBEM subscription for node.

Try to run "/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/send_test_event dm_core_hw" on node, and look if new event in SIM will appear for this system

[Alexandr Prismakov]

Thank you, Maksim, for your support. It's what I have:
# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/send_test_event dm_core_hw
/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/send_test_event: Failed to find monitor name in sapcfg files.

Any ideas?

[Maxim Revutskiy]

Sorry for my mistake, this monitor name was for PA-RISK. For IA64 try /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/send_test_event disk_em

As for subscriptions, since WBEMSvcs 2.09 there is a command line tool wbemassist - its checking wbem installation for issues, and was very helpful for me

also check /var/opt/sfm/log/sfm.log

[Alexandr Prismakov]

wbemassist all checks passed...

Did you replace actual SIM server name in output, or it actually contain "CMSNAME" ??

[Alexandr Prismakov]

I've replaced actual name with CMSNAME.
It is the HP SIM CMS on Windows 2003.

It's strange. Just found that one of our blade hp-ux 11.31 ia64 have similar issue -
"Indication subscription successfully created."
and "No matching subscriptions found."
But CMS receiving events generated via /opt/sfm/bin/sfmconfig -t -m and other

[Alexandr Prismakov]

Maksim, thank you in any case. As a temporary solution I'll try:
1. Configure SFM Email notification (if it possible)
2. Use another SIM server for HP-UX hosts (on Linux for example).
3. RTFM.

[Maxim Revutskiy · Accepted solution]

> 2. Use another SIM server for HP-UX hosts (on Linux for example)

HP SIM 6.0 will be available for download in the first quarter of 2010. ;)
