High Availability Monitors Version A.04.10 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, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the system as root.

2. Enter sam in the command-line prompt to invoke SAM.

3. Double click on the Resource Management icon in SAM.

4. Double click on the Event Monitoring Service icon to invoke EMS.

5. 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, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the system as root.

2. 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 Serviceguard or Serviceguard Extension for RAC,

perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the system as root.

2. Enter sam.

3. In SAM, double click the icons to open Volume Groups (/vg) or Databases (/rdbms).

4. Through Serviceguard or Serviceguard Extension for RAC, you can conﬁgure HA

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

may restart the package on the local system or on an alternate system.

To conﬁgure packages in Serviceguard, refer to Managing Serviceguard manual at

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

Conﬁguring Serviceguard EMS Resource Dependencies

In earlier versions of Serviceguard, it was possible to conﬁgure EMS resource package

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

in SAM is not supported in Serviceguard version A.11.15.00 and later versions for HP-UX 11i

v2, an alternate procedure for conﬁguring EMS resource package dependencies has been

provided. Refer to 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.
