The Event Monitoring Service High Availability Monitors (EMS HA

Monitors) product polls system resource status and sends events to an

application of your choice based on user-deﬁned criteria. The EMS HA

single points of failure.

• EMS HA Monitors media and documentation A.01.00 — B5735AA

• EMS HA Monitors license A.01.00 — B5736AA

EMS HA Monitors version A.01.00 is being released for use with the HP

9000 series 800 running HP-UX release10.20 or greater.

The EMS HA Monitors product contains a set of monitors, a framework,

and a conﬁguration interface. The monitors poll disks, clusters, network

interfaces, and system resources and send status to the framework. The

framework registers monitoring requests and send events when

resources reach user-deﬁned critical values. The EMS graphical

conﬁguration interface runs under SAM.

Users can write their own monitors using the EMS API. See the external

web site at http://www.hp.com/go/ha for more information.

The EMS HA Monitors product is designed to be used with system

management and high availability software such as HP OpenView and

MC/ServiceGuard. It can be used with any software written to interpret

and display messages sent in the supported protocols.
