3 Configuring and Administering EMS Hardware Monitors
This chapter describes how to configure and administer the EMS Hardware Monitors.
This chapter addresses the following topics:
• “Configuring the Fibre Channel Monitors ” (page 24)
• “Hardware Monitoring Request Manager” (page 27)
• “Configuring Hardware Monitoring” (page 31)
• “Peripheral Status Monitor” (page 38)
• “Configuring the Peripheral Status Monitor” (page 43)
Configuring the Fibre Channel Monitors
EMS Hardware Monitors are configured automatically when you install the OnlineDiag bundle.
However, the following monitors require manual configuration:
• Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Hub Monitor (dm_fc_hub)
• Fibre Channel Switch Monitor (dm_fc_sw)
This section describes how to configure these monitors. It addresses the following topics:
• “Configuring the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Hub Monitor ” (page 24)
• “Adding or Removing an FC-AL Hub ” (page 25)
• “Configuring the Fibre Channel Switch Monitor ” (page 25)
• “Adding or Removing an FC Switch ” (page 26)
Configuring the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Hub Monitor
The host cannot detect any hubs during startup because the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL)
hub is not a part of the host configuration. Therefore, you must link the FC-AL monitor to the hubs
by defining the HUB_COUNT and HUB_X_IP_ADDRESS settings in the hub monitor configuration
file.
To configure the FC-AL monitor configuration file, complete the following steps:
1. Ping and find out the IP addresses of the hubs you want to monitor.
2. Open the /var/stm/config/tools/monitor/dm_fc_hub.cfg file using a text editor,
such as vi.
3. Add the following entry to the file:
HUB_COUNT n
Replace n with the number of hubs you want to monitor. For example, the following entry
enables you to monitor five hubs:
HUB_COUNT 5
4. Add the following entry to the file:
HUB_X_IP_ADDRESS nn.nn.nnn.nnn
Replace x with the number 1, and nn with the IP address of the hub that is designated as hub
1.
Following is a sample of an entry:
HUB_1_IP_ADDRESS 192.0.2.0
