Configuring the HyperFabric EMS Monitor
Starting with the December 2000 releases B.11.00.11 and B.11.11.01,
the HyperFabric Event Monitoring Service (EMS) monitor allows system administrators
to separately monitor each HyperFabric adapter on every node in the fabric, in addition
to monitoring the entire HyperFabric subsystem.
The monitor can inform the user if the resource being monitored is UP or DOWN. The
administrator defines the condition to trigger a notification (usually a change in
interface status). Notification can be accomplished with a SNMP trap or by logging into
the syslog file with a choice of severity, or by email to a user defined email address.
To configure the HyperFabric EMS monitor, it is necessary to have the EMS HA monitor
product installed (Product Number B7609BA). This product is available on the
applications CD media.
Use SAM to initiate monitoring of any particular HyperFabric resource. following the
procedure outlined below:
1. Start SAM (Use the online help at any time for details)
2. Select “Resource Management”
3. Select “Event Monitoring Service”
4. Select “Action” and “Add Monitoring Request”
5. Select the location /net/interfaces/clic (class for HyperFabric resources)
6. Select a resource instance (either all instances or a specific instance from the list)
7. Validate your choice by clicking on OK at the bottom of the screen
8. A Monitoring Request Parameters window opens, showing the resource and its
status (if All instances have been selected, then no value is displayed)
9. Define a condition that will trigger a notification (for instance, “When Value is”,
“equal to”, “UP”)
10. Define a polling interval (default is 300 seconds)
11. Define a way of notification: SNMP trap, log in syslog with a choice of severity, or
email to a user defined email address
12. Validate by pressing OK
NOTE Although EMS is able to monitor each HyperFabric adapter on every node in the
fabric, as well as the entire HyperFabric subsystem, EMS is not able to monitor
HyperFabric switches.

feature, see the EMS Hardware Monitors Users Guide Part Number B6191-90028
