High Availability Monitors Version A.04.00.01 Release Notes

What’s in This Version

Chapter 16

All HA Monitors can be used with enterprise system management software such as HP

OpenView.

To work with HA Monitors using the EMS GUI:

• Log on to the system as root and enter sam to open SAM. In SAM, double-click on the

Resource Management icon, and then double-click on the Event Monitoring Service icon

to invoke EMS.

• Use the EMS GUI to conﬁgure a monitoring request to warn you before a system failure.

This warning gives you time to take action to prevent application downtime.

To work with HA Monitors using the EMS CLI:

• Log on to the system as root .

• Invoke the /opt/resmon/bin/emscli command with the appropriate option at the

HP-UX command-line prompt.

Refer to the emscli(1m) manpage for more information.

To work with HA Monitors using the MC/ServiceGuard or ServiceGuard Extension for RAC:

• Log on to the system as root and enter sam. In SAM, double-click the icons to open

Volume Groups (/vg) or Databases (/rdbms).

• Through MC/ServiceGuard or ServiceGuard Extension for RAC, you can conﬁgure HA

Monitor’s resource as part of a package dependency. If the resource fails,

MC/ServiceGuard may restart the package on the local system or on an alternate system.

To conﬁgure packages in MC/ServiceGuard, refer to Managing MC/ServiceGuard manual at

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/ha/index.html.

Conﬁguring MC/ServiceGuard EMS Resource Dependencies

In earlier versions of MC/ServiceGuard, it was possible to conﬁgure EMS resource package

dependencies via SAM in the Package Conﬁguration subarea. Since package conﬁguration in

SAM is not supported in MC/ServiceGuard version A.11.15.00 for HP-UX 11i v2, an alternate

procedure for conﬁguring EMS resource package dependencies has been provided. Refer to

MC/ServiceGuard Version A.11.15.00 Release Notes on HP-UX 11i v2 in

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/ha/index.html for the alternate procedure.
