Administrator's and User's Guide for SFM HP-UX 11i v2 December 2008

You can create a throttling configuration in both EMS and SFM hardware monitoring mode.
However, In the EMS hardware monitoring mode, the association of a throttling configuration
with a subscription is not effective. By design, in the EMS hardware monitoring mode, Evweb
associates the default throttling configuration with a subscription.
Creating a Throttling Configuration Using GUI
To create a throttling configuration, complete the following steps:
1. Repeat steps 1-5 from “Launching Evweb for Administration” (page 51).
2. Select Manage Throttling Configurations in the action pane on the top right corner of the
page.
The Manage throttling configuration page is displayed.
3. Select Create throttling config in the action pane on the top right corner of the page.
The Create throttling config page is displayed.
4. Provide appropriate information in the fields present in the Create throttling config page.
NOTE: The throttling configuration name must be unique. The throttling policy file name
must contain the absolute path of the file and the throttling configuration policy strings.
5. To view the command line equivalent of creating throttling configuration using GUI, click
Preview on the Create throttling config page. This step is optional.
6. Select Create on the Create throttling page.
Evweb creates the throttling configuration and displays a confirmation message.
7. Click OK on the confirmation message window.
For more information on creating a throttling configuration using the HP SMH GUI, select Help
on the action pane of the Create throttling config page.
Creating a Throttling Configuration Using CLI
To create an throttling configuration using CLI, enter the following command at the HP-UX
prompt:
# Evweb subscribe -T -c -g <throttling configuration name>\ -p<throttling
configuration policy file name>
Where:
-T
is an option used to administer a throttling configuration.
-c
is a switch used to create a throttling configuration.
-g
is a switch used to specify a name for the throttling configuration.
-p
is a switch used to specify the path to the throttling configuration policy file.
A message stating that the execution of the Evweb subscribe command was successful is
displayed on the screen.
You can also use the following switches with the -T option:
• (-l)
• (-s <throttling configuration description>)
NOTE: The -g switch is mandatory with the -c, -m, -d, and the -l switches. The -p switch
is mandatory if you use the -c switch.
For more information on creating throttling configuration using CLI, see Evweb_subscribe(1).
