High Availability Monitors Version A.03.00 Release Notes

4 Chapter 1

Announcements

To conﬁgure a monitoring request, open EMS. First, logon as root and

type SAM to open the HP-UX Administration Manager. In SAM,

double-click to open Resource Management, then open EMS. All the

registered monitors, and all the conﬁgured monitoring requests are

listed in the interface.

You can conﬁgure more than one request for each HA monitor. For

example, you may want it to send notiﬁcation to syslog at one value, and

to also send you an email message, perhaps at a different value.

The HA monitors can also be used with system management and high

availability software such as HP OpenView and MC/ServiceGuard. For

example, an HA monitor can be conﬁgured in ServiceGuard as part of a

package dependency. You might want a package to fail over to another

node if a monitor shows a failure. You can also conﬁgure a monitoring

request for the same monitor in EMS to send you earlier warning about

the failure. You could conﬁgure a request in EMS that would post to

syslog when the monitor ﬁrst shows a warning, and another request that

would put a message on your console when a more serious warning

occurs.
