Using EMS HA Monitors

20 Chapter 1

Installing and Using EMS

Some Hewlett-Packard products, such as ATM or HP OTS 9000, provide EMS

monitors. If those products are installed on the system, then their top-level classes

will also appear here. Similarly, top-level classes belonging to user-written

monitors, created using the EMS Developer’s Kit, will be discovered and displayed

here.

Traverse the hierarchy in the upper part of the screen in Figure 1-4 and select a

resource instance to monitor in the lower part of the screen as in Figure 1-5.

Using Wildcards

The * wildcard is a convenient way to create many requests at once. Most systems

have more than one disk or network card, and many have several disks. To avoid

having to create a monitor request for each disk, select * (All Instances) in the

Resource Instance box. See Figure 1-5.
