Installing EMS

EMS checks the resources for local systems only. EMS is most effective when installed and

configured on all systems in your environment.

EMS must be installed on each node that you want to monitor. EMS can be installed on a

running system in a multi-user mode.

NOTE Updated monitors may have new status values that change the meaning of

your monitoring requests. When you update a monitor:

• Check for recent updates of the EMS bundle to ensure compatibility with

the new monitor.

• Review your existing monitoring requests to ensure that they are current

and reasonable for the new monitor.
