Event Monitoring Service Version A.04.00.02 Release Notes

Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements

Chapter 1 13

You can install EMS in either of the following ways:

• Use the swinstall command or use the software management tool in SAM.

• If you have many systems, it may be easier to install over the network from a central

location. The steps to install over the network from a central location are listed below:

1. Create a network depot according to the instructions in Managing HP-UX Software with

SD-UX. The document is available in http://docs.hp.com.

2. rlogin or telnet to the remote host on which you are installing EMS.

3. Install EMS from the depot.

Your requests are retained when the monitors are updated, or when you re-install a monitor

on top of an existing monitor. This is part of the functionality provided by the persistence

client.

While installing EMS, the installation process may modify /etc/services, /etc/inittab,

or /etc/inetd.conf ﬁles. If the ﬁles are modiﬁed, a copy of the unmodiﬁed version is

available in the /etc directory. For example,

• /etc/inittab will be copied to /etc/ems_inittab.old

• /etc/services will be copied to /etc/services.old

• /etc/inetd.conf will be copied to /etc/inetd.conf.old

EMS-Core.EMS-MX Provides the EMS tool deﬁnitions for

integrating into ServiceControl Manager.

EMS-Config.EMS-GUI Provides SAM’s interface to EMS. This

ﬁleset also provides the emscli

command line utility. Refer to the

information.
