To start the EMS GUI:
1. Log on as root to the system with EMS and start the graphical
version of SAM. At the HP-UX prompt, type:
sam
2. Double click the Resource Management icon.
3. Double click on the Event Monitoring Service icon.
The main screen with the Actions menu open, shown in Figure 6-1,
shows all requests configured on that system.
If there are no requests and Sentinel monitors are not installed:
• A message is displayed on the screen:
Currently no resources are being monitored. Use the
<Add Monitoring Request> action.
• The field area of the main screen is empty.
If Sentinel monitors are installed, the screen is simply blank.
