When Disks Fail | HP HA s Software manual

	Monitoring Disk Resources
	Creating Disk Monitoring Requests
	Assume you have a great need to know the status of your system at all times. You
	would need a short polling interval, perhaps between 30 and 120 seconds. (If you
	notice the disk monitor consumes too much CPU, you may want to set a longer
	polling interval.) Assume also that you want an Initial event sent to make sure the
	request is conﬁgured properly. You would want to set the Return option to send an
	event when disks come back up. You would conﬁgure the events to use opcmsg
	(ITO) protocol because you use HP OpenView IT/Operations as your system
	management tool. The parameters for your monitoring request would look like
	Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3	Example: Conﬁguring /vg/vgName/pv_pvlink/status Parameters to Notify
	When Disks Fail

All requests are created in a similar way. You need to make sure you perform these steps for all instances in all volume groups you want to monitor.
