What Is in This Version

EMS version A.04.00.02 for HP-UX 11i v1 operating system runs on the PA platform.

EMS has the following features:

• The EMS Framework: The EMS framework provides discovery, conﬁguration, and

notiﬁcation for EMS monitors. Depending on the monitor, EMS may actively poll or it may

wait for event messages. It compares the return value with the threshold conﬁgured in

the request. If it matches, the framework sends notiﬁcation to the source speciﬁed,

through a required protocol.

• The EMS Graphical User Interface (GUI): You can invoke the EMS interface from the

Resource Management icon in System Administration Manager (SAM). From the EMS

GUI, you can create, modify, and remove monitoring requests. You can also view the list of

available resources that EMS has discovered on your system, and a list of all currently

conﬁgured monitoring requests.

• The EMS Command Line Interface (CLI): You can invoke the EMS command-line

interface by typing emscli with the appropriate option at the HP-UX command-line

prompt. You can use the emscli command-line utility to create, modify, and remove

monitoring requests. You can also view the list of available resources that EMS has

discovered on your system, and a list of all currently conﬁgured monitoring requests. It is

also enabled with a help feature, emscli -h, to view the usage of various options

supported by emscli. For more information on the command line options supported by

emscli, type man 1m emscli at the HP-UX prompt.

• The Management Information Base (MIB) Monitors: The following Management

Information Base (MIB) monitors are provided with the EMS framework:

— HA Cluster Monitor checks the status of Serviceguard clusters, nodes, or packages,

and services.
