Deleting Monitoring Requests
You can delete monitoring requests for a hardware resource that is removed from your system.
However, you must delete only requests that are created exclusively for the removed resource.
CAUTION: Deleting monitoring requests makes your system vulnerable to undetected hardware
failures. This is particularly true for the default monitoring requests, which provide protection for
all the supported hardware resources on your system.
To delete a monitoring request, complete the following steps:
1. Log in as superuser.
2. Run the monconfig utility by entering the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig
3. Enter Dat the main menu selection prompt.
All the current monitoring requests are displayed.
4. From the list of the current monitoring requests, enter the number assigned to the request you
want to delete.
5. Delete the request when prompted.
Disabling Monitoring
You can disable hardware monitoring, if necessary. However, you must disable all EMS Hardware
Monitors, because you cannot disable a specific monitor. While monitoring is disabled, all
monitoring requests are disabled. The monitoring requests are retained and become operational
when you re-enable monitoring.
CAUTION: When monitoring is disabled, your hardware resources are vulnerable to undetected
failures.
Disabling monitoring impacts HP Serviceguard if package dependencies are created for the
monitors.
To disable monitoring, complete the following steps:
1. Run the monconfig utility by entering the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig
2. Enter Kat the main menu selection prompt.
3. Confirm disabling when prompted. For information on how to re-enable hardware monitoring,
see “Enabling Monitoring ” (page 32).
