To configure the
Step | 1. | Determine which hubs you want the monitor to be responsible for. Record the IP address for each of |
|
| these hubs. |
Step | 2. | Open file /var/stm/config/tools/monitor/dm_fc_hub.cfg in an ASCII text editor. |
Step | 3. | Add the following line to the file: |
|
| HUB_COUNT n |
|
| Replace “n” with the value that reflects the number of hubs for which the monitor will be |
|
| responsible. For example, the following line would monitor 5 hubs: |
|
| HUB_COUNT 5 |
Step | 4. | Add the following line to file: |
|
| HUB_X_IP_ADDRESS nn.nn.nnn.nnn |
|
| Change the placeholder “X” to the number 1, and replace the “nn” fields with the IP address of the |
|
| hub that will be designated as hub 1. |
|
| The completed line will look similar to the following: |
|
| HUB_1_IP_ADDRESS 15.43.214.101 |
Step | 5. | If multiple hubs will be monitored, replicate the line from step 4 for each hub, changing the hub |
|
| number and IP Address for each. When you are done, the number of lines should equal the number |
|
| defined in the HUB_COUNT setting. For example, the following lines would configure the monitor for |
|
| three hubs: |
|
| HUB_COUNT 3 |
|
| HUB_1_IP_ADDRESS 15.43.214.101 |
|
| HUB_2_IP_ADDRESS 15.43.214.171 |
|
| HUB_3_IP_ADDRESS 15.43.214.184 |
Step | 6. | Save the file. |
Step | 7. | To invoke the changes made to the hub configuration file, you must use the Enable Monitoring |
|
| option of the Hardware Monitoring Request Manager, even if monitoring is already enabled. The |
|
| Enable Monitoring option runs the startup client, which reads the contents of the configuration file |
|
| and starts the hub monitor to begin monitoring of the |
|

There are other settings in the configuration file that can be changed to customize the operation of the
