Configuring the HyperFabric EMS Monitor
Starting with the December 2000 releases B.11.00.11 and B.11.11.01,
the HyperFabric Event Monitoring Service (EMS) monitor allows
system administrators to separately monitor each HyperFabric adapter
on every node in the fabric, in addition to monitoring the entire
HyperFabric subsystem.
The monitor can inform the user if the resource being monitored is UP or
DOWN. The administrator defines the condition to trigger a notification
(usually a change in interface status). Notification can be accomplished
with a SNMP trap or by logging into the syslog file with a choice of
severity, or by email to a user defined email address.
To configure the HyperFabric EMS monitor, it is necessary to have the
EMS HA monitor product installed (Product Number B7609BA). This
product is available on the applications CD media.
Use SAM to initiate monitoring of any particular HyperFabric resource.
following the procedure outlined below:
1. Start SAM (Use the online help at any time for details)
2. Select “Resource Management”
3. Select “Event Monitoring Service”
4. Select “Action” and “Add Monitoring Request”
5. Select the location /net/interfaces/clic (class for HyperFabric
resources)
6. Select a resource instance (either all instances or a specific instance
from the list)
7. Validate your choice by clicking on OK at the bottom of the screen
8. A Monitoring Request Parameters window opens, showing the
resource and its status (if All instances have been selected, then no
value is displayed)
9. Define a condition that will trigger a notification (for instance,
“When Value is”, “equal to”, “UP”)
10. Define a polling interval (default is 300 seconds)
