HP Serviceguard Version A.11.19 Release Notes, October 2009

A brief description of each parameter follows:
-h or --help
Displays the usage, as listed above, and exits.
NOTE: Do not include the help or version parameters in your service command; this
will result in immediate package failure at runtime.
-v or --version
Displays the monitor version and exits.
-O or --log-file
Specifies a file for logging (log messages are printed to the console by default).
-D or --log-level
Specifies the log level. The level of detail logged is directly proportional to the numerical
value of the log level. That is, a log level of 7 will provide the greatest amount of log
information. The default log level is 0.
-t or --poll-interval
Specifies the interval between volume probes.
You can specify a polling interval of as little as 1 (one second), but bear in mind that a
short polling interval (less than 10 seconds) may impair system performance if you are
monitoring a large number of volumes. HP recommends a polling interval of at least
10 seconds if 50 or more volumes are being monitored by a single service command.
The default polling interval is 60 seconds.
volume_path
The full path to at least one VxVM volume device file for monitoring (required). The
pathname must identify a block device file.
Examples
/usr/sbin/cmvxserviced -O /log/monlog.log -D 3 /dev/vx/dsk/cvm_dg0/lvol2
This command monitors a single volume, /dev/vx/dsk/cvm_dg0/lvol2, at log
level 3, with a polling interval of 60 seconds, and prints all log messages to /log/
monlog.log.
/usr/sbin/cmvxserviced /dev/vx/dsk/cvm_dg0/lvol1 /dev/vx/dsk/cvm_dg0/lvol2
This command monitors two volumes at the default log level of 0, with a polling interval
of 60 seconds, and prints all log messages to the console.
/usr/sbin/cmvxserviced -t 10 /dev/vx/dsk/cvm_dg2/lvol3
This command monitors a single volume at log level 0, with a polling interval of 10
seconds, and prints all log messages to the console.
