You can install EMS by either using the swinstall command or use the software management tools
in SAM.
If you have many systems, it may be easier to install over the network from a central location. The
steps to install over the network from a central location are given below:
1. Create a network depot according to the instructions in Managing HP-UX Software with SD-UX.
2. rlogin or telnet to the remote host on which you are installing EMS.
3. Install EMS from the depot.
Your requests are retained when the monitors are updated, or when you reinstall a monitor on top
of an existing monitor. This is part of the functionality provided by the persistence client.
While installing EMS, the installation process may modify /etc/services, /etc/inittab or
/etc/inetd.conffiles. If the files are modified, a copy of the unmodified version is available
in the /etc directory. For example,
• /etc/inittab will be copied to /etc/ems_inittab.old
• /etc/services will be copied to /etc/services.old
• /etc/inetd.conf will be copied to /etc/inetd.conf.old
Removing EMS
You have to use the swremove utility or the Software Management tools in SAM to remove EMS.
Note that the monitors are persistent; that is, they are always automatically started if they are
stopped. Therefore, the following warning message may be created in your log file:
Could not shut down process.
The following error message is displayed:
File /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/p_client could not be removed.
Even if you see these warnings, monitors are removed and any unwanted files are cleaned up on
reboot.
CAUTION: When you remove EMS, all log files are also removed. If you wish to save any of the
EMS log files, rename them or store them before you remove EMS.
EMS and EMS HA Monitors patch strategy
EMS Framework (EventMonitoring) and HA Monitors (B5736DA) are in support mode for all
releases of HP-UX 11i. There will be no patches for any release of EMS. There will be no new
enhancements and features. Only defects with severity level above 8 or defects related to security
issues would be fixed.
As and when required EMS will provide defect fixes via AR/OEUR media. In case of critical defects
in the EMS Framework (EventMonitoring bundle only), that impair the system/dependent product
functioning, the fix will be made available via Web Release, which happens once every month.
The fix will be made available as an installable product upgrade and can be downloaded from
the HP Software Depot web site at https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/try.do?
