Conﬁguring MC/ServiceGuard EMS Resource Dependencies

In the earlier versions of MC/ServiceGuard, it was possible to conﬁgure the EMS resource

package dependencies via SAM in the “Package Conﬁguration” subarea. Since the “Package

Conﬁguration” subarea in SAM is not supported in MC/ServiceGuard version A.11.15.00 in

HP-UX 11i v2, an alternate procedure for conﬁguring EMS resource package dependencies

has been provided. Refer to MC/ServiceGuard versionA.11.15 Release Notes for PA on HP-UX

11i v1 for the alternate procedure.

Bastille Interactions

EMS requires SNMP daemon (snmpdm) to query SNMP mibs and to send SNMP trap

notiﬁcations. Selecting an install-time security level causes the SNMP daemon (snmpdm)tobe

shutdown. Therefore, if your system is conﬁgured with any install-time security level, any

SNMP MIB-related query or snmp trap notiﬁcation will fail. The same behavior will result if

snmpdm is disabled manually or by using a tool such as HP-UX Bastille.

If you want to secure the system using HP-UX Bastille interactively, ensure that the SNMP

daemon service is not disabled for EMS to function properly. Alternatively, after using an

install-time security level, you can manually start the snmp daemon and related snmp

subagents mib2agt, hp_unixagt, trapdestagt and ipv6agt (if the system supports IPv6).
