HP-UX WBEM System Fault Management (SFM) Administrator Guide (September 2013)

-v is an option used to view detailed information about an event from the CER.
For more information on viewing details of an event using the CLI, see emtui(1).
Administering Events in CER
This section describes how to administer events using EMT.
This section addresses the following topics:
• “Adding a Custom Solution” (page 79)
• “Modifying a Custom Solution” (page 80)
• “Deleting a Custom Solution ” (page 80)
Apart from querying and viewing events stored in CER, EMT enables you to add, modify, and
delete solutions. The solution that you add for an event is called a custom solution. You can add,
modify, and delete custom solutions to multiple causes at a time.
Adding a Custom Solution
If you are a system administrator, you can add your own solution for an error generated on a
HP-UX system. The custom solution is permanently stored in CER and is available to all EMT users.
Adding a Custom Solution using the GUI
To add a custom solution using the HP SMH GUI, complete the following steps:
1. Repeat steps 1-5 from “Launching EMT” (page 76).
2. Search for the event from CER using either the Simple Search or the Advanced Search feature.
3. Click on the desired event from the Event Summary Table.
The details of the event is displayed in the Detailed Error Information (Administrative View)
pane.
4. If there is no cause associated with the event, skip to Step 5. If a cause is associated with the
event, select the cause for the event from the Detailed Error Information (Administrative View)
pane.
You can select multiple causes for an event.
5. Click Add Solution to Selected Causes on the right corner of the Detailed Error Information
(Administrative View) pane.
The Add a Custom Solution page is displayed.
6. Provide appropriate information in the text boxes in the Add a Custom Solution page, and
click Add Solution.
A confirmation message is displayed.
7. Click OK on the confirmation message window.
The new custom solution is displayed on the Detailed Error Information (Administrative View)
pane.
For more information about adding a custom solution using the HP SMH GUI, select Help on the
action pane of the Add a Custom Solution page.
Adding a Custom Solution using the CLI
To add a custom solution using the CLI, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# emtui -a<solution text>
Where:
-a is an option used to add a custom solution.
