You can install EMS by either using the swinstall command or use the software management
tools in SAM.
If you have many systems, it may be easier to install over the network from a central location.
The steps to install over the network from a central location are given below:
1. Create a network depot according to the instructions in Managing HP-UX Software with
SD-UX.
2. rlogin or telnet to the remote host on which you are installing EMS.
3. Install EMS from the depot.
Your requests are retained when the monitors are updated, or when you reinstall 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.conffiles. 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
You have to use the swremove utility or the Software Management tools in SAM to remove
EMS. 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.
EMS and EMS HA Monitors Patch Strategy
EMS Framework (EventMonitoring) and HA Monitors (B5736DA) are in support mode for all
releases of HP-UX 11i. There will be no patches for any release of EMS. There will be no new
enhancements and features. Only defects with severity level above 8 or defects related to security
issues would be fixed.
As and when required EMS will provide defect fixes via AR/OEUR media. In case of critical
defects in the EMS Framework (EventMonitoring bundle only), that impair the system/dependent
product functioning, the fix will be made available via Web Release, which happens once every
month. The fix will be made available as an installable product upgrade and can be downloaded
