Common Problems and Workarounds
The following list describes some common problems and the initial steps
you can take to resolve such problems:
• Kernel events are not being posted
Verify the Event Manager daemon log file for errors by entering the
following command:
# more /var/evm/adm/logfiles/evmdaemon.log
Examine for the presence of the kernel interface pseudo device by
entering the following command:
# ls -l /dev/kevm
If this pseudo device is not present, create it by entering the
following command:
# /sbin/mknod/dev/kevm c $major 0
Major can be obtained by entering the following command:
# lsdev | awk ‘/kevm/ {print $1;}’
• A subscribing application fails to receive expected
events
Verify that the poster is authorized to post these events by
examining the authorization file with the following command:
# more /etc/evm.auth
Verify that the event is registered by entering the following
command:
# evmwatch -i -f ‘[name event_name]’ |
evmshow -t "@name"
If the events are still not shown, enter evmreload and examine the
output again. If they are still not visible, verify that the template
files are correctly installed.
Verify that the subscriber is authorized to access these events by
entering the following command:
# more /etc/evm.auth
