Event Monitoring Service Version A.04.00 Release Notes

Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements

Chapter 1 15

Your requests are retained when the monitors are updated, or when you re-install a monitor

on top of an existing monitor. This is part of the functionality provided by the persistence

client.

While installing EMS, the installation process may modify /etc/services, /etc/inittab,

or /etc/inetd.conf ﬁles. If the ﬁles are modiﬁed, a copy of the unmodiﬁed version is

available in the /etc directory. For example,

• /etc/inittab will be copied to /etc/ems_inittab.old

• /etc/services will be copied to /etc/services.old

• /etc/inetd.conf will be copied to /etc/inetd.conf.old

Removing EMS

To remove EMS, use the swremove utility or the Software Management tools in SAM. Note

that the monitors are persistent; that is, they are always automatically started if they are

stopped. Therefore, the following warning message may be created in your log ﬁle:

Could not shut down process.

The following error message is displayed:

File /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/p_client could not be removed.

Even if you see these warnings, monitors are removed and any unwanted ﬁles are cleaned up

on reboot.

CAUTION When you remove EMS, all log ﬁles are also removed. If you wish to save any of

the EMS log ﬁles, rename them or store them before you remove EMS.
