Page 18: System Management Console Overview
System Management Console Overview The system management console makes it possible to operate one or more systems, some or all of which have multiple partitions, with a single console device. Figure 1–1 System Management Console Corporate Network 4 GS320 systems, each with 8 partitions ConsoleWorks Screen (one for each partition)
Page 19 With the system management console (SMC), one or more GS80/160/320 systems, each with a single or multiple console lines, can be managed from a single device. The SMC consists of a Compaq Deskpro PC, one or more DECserver 90M terminal servers, a network hub (if more than one GS80/160/320 system is managed by the SMC), and associated hardware and software.

3.3.5 Giving a Console an Alias Enter the alias in the Alias block on the console_name Configuration screen and click the Update Console button. Figure 3–22 console_name Configuration Screen 3-38 System Management Console User's Guide...
Page 81 An easier way to give a console a different name than renaming it (Section 3.3.4) is to give it an alias. The alias displays in ConsoleWorks and CAPM wherever the console’s name would be used. To give a console an alias, enter it in the Alias block on the console_name Configuration screen (Figure 3–22) and click the Update Console button.

Page 88: Managing Events And Actions
Managing Events and Actions An event is a text string in the input or output of a console’s SCM, SRM, or operating system instance for which ConsoleWorks monitors. Based on the event, ConsoleWorks can trigger an action. Each event is associated with one or more scans, or collection of events.
Page 89 ConsoleWorks tests. The string can be to or from the SCM, SRM, or operating system. A number of events are supplied by ConsoleWorks and by Compaq; the user can create others (Section 3.4.3). Compaq supplies a number of events that are specific to the GS80/160/320 system (Section 3.4.1).
Page 90: Importing And Using Compaq-Supplied Events
GS_VITAL_POWER_FAILURE Vital power failure in a QBB The Compaq-supplied events warn of a number of AlphaServer conditions that require attention (Table 3–5). These events must be brought into ConsoleWorks before they can be used. Unless ConsoleWorks is re-installed, this procedure is done only once.
Page 91: Import Polycenter Console Manager Data Screen
To use the Compaq-supplied events, do the following: 1. The ConsoleWorks script (c:\cwks\default\actions\event\mail.pl) should have been been modified at installation to include the name of your mail server. If it was not, or if you want to change it, do so now by opening the file Mail.pl in Notepad and following the instructions under the heading...

Page 209 A GS80/160/320 system connected to an SMC without a terminal server can have problems with menu-driven applications displayed in the ConsoleWorks terminal emulator window. (This is the window that displays when you click the Connect link in the ConsoleWorks console_name Configuration screen or when you click the icon to the left of the console name in the Show Consoles screen.) Examples of this problem are that input appears invalid during a Tru64 UNIX install or when running 'setup' in Tru64 UNIX.

Polycenter Console Manager (PCM). This file is imported to ConsoleWorks to supply definitions of scans and events. The name of the scan is GS_SCM_SCAN. All Compaq-supplied events, which are described in Table B–1, are part of this scan. The event pattern triggers are automatically defined during the import.
Page 214: Loading
All events listed in Table B–1 have a priority of 50 and a severity of critical. Note that event GS_PCI_PBM_SYSEVENT can be triggered by any of three subevents. These are defined and recognized in the Perl script, as described in Section B.2.
