Creating EMS Monitoring Requests for PSM

Creating EMS Monitoring Requests for PSM

In addition to creating MC/ServiceGuard package dependencies, you can also use the PSM to create EMS monitoring requests. Because it is a state monitor rather than an event monitor, the process and options available for creating PSM requests with EMS are identical to those for the other system monitors available for EMS.

To create a PSM monitoring request:

1.From the command line, start the graphical version of SAM by typing: sam

2.Double-click the Resource Management icon.

3.Double-click on the Event Monitoring Service icon.

The Event Monitoring Service main screen is displayed showing all monitoring requests configured on the system. Included are any PSM monitoring requests you may have created, and any requests created for other EMS monitors that may be running on your system. If you have not created any requests, the field area of the screen will be empty.

4.From the Actions menu select Add Monitoring Request.

The top level resource classes are displayed. The resource classes used for PSM monitoring are adapters, connectivity, storage, and system.

5.Double-click on the appropriate resource class, then on the status class, then on the remaining resource subclasses until the PSM monitor instances are displayed in the Resource Instance list.

6.Select the desired PSM resource instance and click OK. If there are multiple instances, you can select the

*(All Instances) option to apply the monitoring request to all instances of the selected resource. All Instances is a convenient way to create many requests at one time.

The Monitoring Request Parameters screen is displayed for the selected PSM resource.

7.Using the various parameter fields available, define the monitoring request. A description of the various parameters and how they are used is included in the following section.

Although there are many possible ways to define the monitoring request, the following settings are recommended for PSM requests:

•Notify conditions set to “Notify When value is…Not Equal Up (0)”

•Options set to Initial and Return

•Polling Interval set to an appropriate value

•Notify via set to the desired notification method

8.Click OK to save the monitoring request. The request will be added to those in the Current Monitoring Requests screen.

Repeat the above steps for each new PSM monitoring request. It will be necessary to create a new monitoring request for each notification method.
