Configuring error logging in SFM
Logging information about the internal operational errors of SFM such as system call errors is
called, error logging. You can configure error logging parameters, such as severity, logging target,
and the number of backup files by using the sfmconfig command. To configure these parameters,
complete the following steps:
1. Modify the /var/opt/sfm/conf/FMLoggerConfig.xml configuration file using a text
editor.
2. For the changes made in the /var/opt/sfm/conf/FMLoggerConfig.xml configuration
file to take effect, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# /opt/sfm/bin/sfmconfig -c /var/opt/sfm/conf/FMLoggerConfig.xml
For more information about the sfmconfig command, enter the following command at the HP-UX
prompt:
# man sfmconfig
NOTE: You can configure the parameters by using the command-line interface (CLI) only.
Configuring the monitoring mode
This section describes how to configure the monitor mode. It also describes how to switch the
monitor mode between SFM and EMS.
To confirm the current monitoring mode, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# /opt/sfm/bin/sfmconfig -w -q
To switch the monitoring mode from EMS to SFM, enter the following command at the HP-UX
prompt:
# /opt/sfm/bin/sfmconfig -w -s
The /var/opt/sfm/log/.sfmconfig.log log file gets created in the switch script while
switching modes.
./ext/stm/switch.sh: /opt/sfm/bin/CIMUtil -w
/var/opt/sfm/log/.sfmconfig.log
NOTE: Starting with the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2008 release, SFM is the default monitoring mode.
However, you can switch to the OnlineDiag monitoring mode. Switching the monitoring mode
from SFM to EMS on HP Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2 & BL890c i2 Server Blades, rx2800 i2
and HP Superdome 2 servers is not available.
To check whether the SFMIndicationProvider is working properly, send a memory test event by
entering the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# /opt/sfm/bin/sfmconfig -t -m
The following output indicates that the SFMIndicationProvider is working properly:
