Table 3-1 Event Qualification for the SFMIndicationProvider (continued)
Available ValuesDescriptionEntry
• NOT_USED - never suppress an event.
• 1 - maxint - duration of suppression in
minutes.
• 9999999 - Generates an event only once.
Time to suppress the generation of
an event, in minutes.
suppression time
• NOT_USED - threshold value not used.
• ANY - time window threshold used, but no
time window is specified.
• 1 - maxint -
Threshold value of events, in
minutes. If an error is detected for a
duration longer than that specified
in this field, an event is generated.
time window
• 1 - maxint
NOTE: To generate an event every time an
error is detected, you must set the threshold
value to 1, and the time window to “ANY”.
Number of times an error must be
detected in the time window to
qualify as an event.
threshold
Value threshold categories:
• NONE - value threshold is not used.
• Any positive value.
Operator values:
• NO_OP - operator is not used.
• >, <, >=, <=, ==, !=
For example, if the percentage of PDT required
to qualify an event is between 60 and 70, enter
the following:
60:<=:<=70
Value threshold is a case-sensitive
condition. It can denote percentage
in some cases. For example,
percentage of the Page Dellocation
Table (PDT) full.
Operator denotes conditions to
qualify value threshold. Value
threshold and operator collectively
represent an equation.
value threshold X,
operator X
To create a new subscription with custom EQ criteria, make a copy of the default event
configuration file and edit the contents of the file using a text editor. To enter a comment, begin
the line with the # character.
Following are the conditions for creating custom subscriptions:
1. Every custom setting must begin with EQ.
2. Any two EQ entries must be separated by a colon.
3. Only the available values for EQ entries must be used.
4. All EQ entries for a custom setting must be in the same line. Carriage returns are not allowed.
5. EQ entries must be case sensitive.
Example:
In the following default configuration file for memory, event 3000 is suppressed:
# EV_SBE_DETECTED (Single bit error
detected)EQ:memory:3000:SEVERITY_INFORMATION:FALSE:NOT_USED:ANY:1:NONE:NO_OP:NO_OP_NONE
To receive all indications related to single bit errors occurring on the DIMMs, make a copy of
the default event configuration file and edit the appropriate line using a text editor, as follows:
# EV_SBE_DETECTED (Single bit error
detected)EQ:memory:3000:SEVERITY_INFORMATION:TRUE:NOT_USED:ANY:1:NONE:NO_OP:NO_OP:NONE
To create a throttling configuration, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# Evweb subscribe -T -c -g <throttling configuration name> -p <full
path of the file containing the throttling configuration policy>
To associate the newly created throttling configuration with the subscription, enter the following
command at the HP-UX prompt:
