Enabling Hardware Event Monitoring

Enabling Hardware Event Monitoring

Hardware event monitoring must be enabled to protect your system from undetected hardware failures. All hardware monitoring requests are ignored while monitoring is disabled. Once monitoring has been enabled, all hardware event monitors and their associated monitoring requests will become operational.

NOTE	As of the June 1999 release, the hardware event monitors are automatically enabled when the
	Support Tools bundle containing STM and the monitors is installed.

NOTE Are There Any Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Hubs or Fibre Channel Switches You Want to Monitor?

An EMS Hardware Monitor is included for FC-AL hubs and FC switches. However, unlike the other hardware monitors, these monitors require some initial configuration before they will function. To ensure that your FC-AL hubs or FC switches are monitored, you should perform the initial configuration before enabling monitoring. For information on performing the initial configuration, refer to “Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Hub Monitor”, and “Fibre Channel Switch Monitor” in Chapter 6, “Special Procedures.” When you have configured these monitors. return here and continue with the procedure to enable monitoring.

To enable hardware event monitoring (only necessary for February and April 1999 releases):

1. Run the Hardware Monitoring Request Manager by typing:

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

2. From the main menu selection prompt, enter E

Hardware event monitoring is now enabled. The default monitoring requests shown in Table 2-13 on page 36 will be used to monitor your hardware. If these settings are adequate, you are done. If you want to add or modify the monitoring you can do so using the Monitoring Request Manager.
