Querying the Common Error Repository

query and view events present in Common Error Repository (CER).
This section addresses the following topics:
• “EMT Overview” (page 71)
• “Launching EMT” (page 72)

• “Viewing an Event from CER” (page 73)
EMT Overview
The SFM includes a user component called EMT, which enables you to view the error messages
that are generated on an HP-UX 11i v3 system. The EMT includes Common Error Repository (CER),
which is an online, searchable, and updateable error repository. The CER contains error metadata.
Error metadata is collective information about an error such as error description, error number,
error type, severity, cause of the error, and corrective actions. The EMT also includes the cerupdate
tool, which enables you to update CER with product specific error information.
The EMT supports the following user interfaces:
• Browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• Command-Line Interface (CLI)
The EMT supports the following user groups:
• Administrator
• Non-administrator
In the CLI, any user with superuser privileges is an administrator. However, in the HP System
Management Homepage (HP SMH) GUI, the user groups in EMT are mapped internally to the user
groups defined in the HP SMH.
The Administrator user group in the HP SMH maps to administrators in EMT. The Operator and
the User user groups in the HP SMH map to non-administrators in EMT.
For information about configuring user groups in HP SMH, see the HP System Management
