Event Monitoring Service Version A.04.20.11.01, A.04.20.23.01, and A.04.20.31.01 Release Notes

NOTE: If you require the EMS MIB definitions to handle EMS SNMP trap notifications, you
can obtain it as part of the EMS Developer’s Kit available from http://www.hp.com/go/
softwaredepot. EMS templates for HP OpenView ITO/ITO-SE, and EMS SNMP trap templates
for HP OpenView NNM are also part of the EMS Developer’s Kit.
NOTE: Textlog notification requests must specify a file in the /var/opt/resmon/log directory.
If another directory is specified the default text log file, EMS displays an error message.
EMS can be used with HP OpenView, Serviceguard, and any other software that can receive
SNMP traps, TCP, or UDP protocol messages.

What’s in This Version
In this release defects are fixed.
Known Problems and Workarounds
The following are the known problems and workarounds:
• JAGaf19567 - EMS does not handle registering of persistent requests during boot time
correctly. This results in certain requests getting lost. Persistence files are set to zero if a user
tries to register the persistent requests during the boot phase.
This problem is resolved for emsgui and emscli client. However, this problem will continue
to exist for other clients.
• JAGag19389 - WBEM supports the feature of specifying the severity of an event. The severity
level can be critical, major, minor, warning, information, normal, and so on. However, when
emsgui or emscli is used to submit a wbem request, the ems client program does not allow
the user to specify the severity of the notification. By default the program sets the severity
to "Warning".
• QXCR1000814468 – EMSHAProvider registration fails if the WBEMServices version is earlier
than A.02.05. The registration of EMSHAProvider module fails during the configure phase,
when installing/updating EMS, if the version of WBEMServices product installed on the
system is earlier than A.02.05.
You can follow any of the following workarounds:
— Update the WBEMServices product to version A.02.05 or later before updating/installing
EMS.
— If EMS is already installed, user can update the WBEMServices product to version
A.02.05 or later and execute the following command:
# /opt/wbem/bin/cimmof -w -n root/PG_InterOp
/etc/opt/resmon/mof/EMSHAProviderR.mof
