Troubleshooting

Logging and tracing

Entries in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log are marked with the monitor daemon name, e.g. diskmond or fsmond, followed by the resource name and logging data. Additions, deletions, notifications, and changes in resource states are logged. Errors explaining why a resource is not available for monitoring, or why the monitor cannot access a resource are also logged in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.

Look at the registrar.log if you are having trouble finding resources that you suspect exist on your system. This log contains any errors that were encountered when trying to read the dictionary. If a dictionary was corrupted in any way, the registrar would not be able to read it, and EMS would not be able to find the resources associated with that dictionary.

EMS Tracing

Tracing is used when debugging monitor code.

Use the -doption to turn on tracing for EMS monitors. Tracing should only be used at the request of your HP support personnel when trying to determine if there may be a problem with the EMS HA monitors. To turn on tracing, modify the .dict file in /etc/opt/resmon/dictionary and add -dto the monitor you would like to trace:

MONITOR: /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/diskmond -l -d

Kill the monitor process. The monitor will automatically restart with tracing enabled. To speed up monitor restart, use the resls command with the top level of the resource class as an argument, for example, resls /vg.

Tracing is logged to /etc/opt/resmon/log/diskmond.log for the disk monitor and /etc/opt/resmon/log/mibmond.log for all other monitors
