Event Monitoring Service Version A.04.20.11 Release Notes

Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements

Chapter 1 15

The EMS bundle (EventMonitoring) version A.04.20.11 contains the following file sets:

You can install EMS by either using the swinstall command or use the software

management tools 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 given below:

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

SD-UX.

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
