In the HyperFabric version B.11.23.01, 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

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.
