Steps to Obtain EMS Data to Reproduce an EMS Problem

Appendix B 93

4. Set up everything for reproduction.

Backup the /etc/opt/resmon/ tree:

# mkdir -p /tmp/RESMON/before

# cp -Rp /etc/opt/resmon/* /tmp/RESMON/before

Save logﬁles (if needed):

# cd /etc/opt/resmon/log

# tar cvf /tmp/oldlogs.tar *

# cd /var/opt/resmon/log

# tar rvf /tmp/oldlogs.tar diskmond.log

Clear logﬁles:

# for i in /etc/opt/resmon/log/*log*

/var/opt/resmon/log/diskmond.log

> do

> rm $i

> done

5. Restart EMS and reproduce the problem.

# kill <pid of diskmond>

# kill <pid of registrar>

# date > /tmp/RESMON/startdate; kill <pid of p_client>

# <steps to reproduce>

6. Check if you have successfully reproduced the problem.

7. Collect the data.

# cd /etc/opt

# tar cvf /tmp/RESMON/after.tar ./resmon

# cd /var/opt/resmon/log

# tar rvf /tmp/RESMON/after.tar diskmond.log

8. Disable debug logging.

rm /etc/opt/resmon/debug

Edit the diskmond.dict ﬁle.

Kill diskmond, registrar, p_client.

NOTE If you are not troubleshooting diskmond, make sure that you include the

speciﬁc logﬁles of the EMS Monitor you are looking at. Refer to the

documentation of the EMS Monitor to ﬁnd the location of the logﬁle.
