Several additional tools might be available for use on your system but are not included
in this guide. Examples of such tools include:
•
The Event Management Service Analyzer (EMSA) is used to extract specific types
of event messages from EMS log files and to create an ENSCRIBE database that
you can query to analyze problem trends. For more information, see the EMS
Analyzer User’s Guide and Reference Manual.
•
The Measure program is used to collect and display system performance statistics,
performance of processors, processes, communication and network lines, files,
disks, and terminals. Operations management personnel often use Measure to fine-
tune and balance a system. For more information, see the Measure User’s Guide.
•
The PEEK program is use to gather statistical information about processor activity,
system storage pools, paging activity, message information, send instructions, and
interrupt conditions. For more information, see the PEEK Reference Manual.
•
The Compaq Object Monitoring Facility (OMF) is used in problem identification
and prevention. OMF monitors the same devices as an SCF STATUS command:
processors, disks, files, processes, spooler components, audit trails, audit dumps,
TMF transactions, and tape mount requests. For more information, see the Object
Monitoring Facility (OMF) Manual.
•
The TSM EMS Event Viewer helps Himalaya S-series users perform many of the
tasks associated with viewing and monitoring EMS event logs. It enables you to
search for and view the log files in a variety of ways and retrieve events based on
start and end time, subsystem, source, and multiple or specific events. You launch
the TSM EMS Event Viewer from within the TSM application. For more
information, see the TSM Configuration Guide.
•
The Compaq Tandem Service Management (TSM) client/server application provides
troubleshooting, maintenance, and service tools that run on the Himalaya S-series
server and on a PC-compatible workstation. TSM combines many of the system
maintenance functions provided on D-series releases by the Syshealth toolkit, the
Compaq Tandem Maintenance and Diagnostic Subsystem (TMDS), and the Remote
Maintenance Interface (RMI) product. For more information, see the TSM
Configuration Guide.
