Use of Alternate EMS Collectors
Use of Alternate EMS Collectors
To reduce the number of event messages written to the primary collector $0, and
accordingly the load on this collector, you can use an alternate collector for VHS.
To specify an alternate collector as the EMS collector for VHS, modify the define
=_EMS_COLLECTOR in the VHSSTART file. Refer to the EMS Manual for a
description on how to set up EMS alternate collectors. You can change the EMS
collector for VHS at any time by using the VHSCI.
Restricting VHS GUI User Capability
When you install the VHS GUI, any user that can log on to the Tandem system can
browse and reply to any prompts generated on a node or a network of systems. You
can restrict the capabilities of a group or individual user by modifying the file
VHSGCONF installed on $SYSTEM.SYSTEM. By default, this file has no user
restrictions entry.
This syntax describes how to restrict a VHS GUI user to browse and reply actions for
only specific VHS Host Environments:
group-name
specifies a standard Tandem group name.
user-name
specifies a standard Tandem user name.
* (asterisk)
represents all user names or user IDs associated with the group name or the group
ID specified. The asterisk can also represent all environment names that are
logged in the VHS EMS collector.
group-id
specifies a number from 1 to 255 that represents a standard Tandem group ID.
user-id
specifies a number from 0 to 255 that represents a standard Tandem user ID.
ADDUSER {group-name.user-name | group-name.* |
group-id, group-userid | group-id, *} ,
ENVIRONMENT {* environment-name | (environment-name, …) }
