Changes to Hardware Diagnostics Monitors
If you are updating from an old version of the hardware diagnostics, the
old monitors for disc30, sdisk and disk array devices will no longer
work.
You may be affected if:
• You are using a version of diagnostics earlier than February 1999 (an
STM version lower than A.14.00). To check your version, enter:
/usr/sbin/cstm
The STM version is displayed in the start-up messages. Exit by
entering: quit
AND:
• You customized the configuration files for the diaglogd exec
programs (disk30_exec.cfg, sdisk_exec.cfg, and
haraymon_exec.cfg). Check these files by looking in the directory
/var/stm/config/diaglogd_progs/. If the files exist and
monitoring is enabled inside the files, then your system may be
affected.
Do these checks before you update your system to 11i.
After Updating to
11i:
To achieve the same results as with the obsolete monitors, use the EMS
Hardware Monitors on the updated system. See the EMS Hardware
Monitors User's Guide available at:

NOTE As of the February 1999 release of the hardware diagnostics, there has
been a change to the way monitoring is done for disc30, sdisk and the
HA Disk Array Models 10, 20, and 30FC. Formerly, the diaglogd exec
programs (pdisc30_exec, pharaymon_exec, and psdisk_exec) handled
driver error entries for these devices. As of the February 1999 release,
these programs have been deleted and their functionality is now
provided by the EMS Hardware Monitors.
