The Array Monitor Daemon (Arraymond); Routing Arraymond Error Messages - HP Surestore Disk Array 12h - And FC60 System Administrator Manual

The Array Monitor Daemon (arraymond)

The Array Monitor Daemon, known as the arraymond process, runs at regular intervals (every fifteen
minutes) to retrieve disk array status information. The arraymond process uses the arraydsp ARM utility,
and therefore requires the ARMServer process to be running. By retrieving status from the disk array at
regular intervals, arraymond can alert the system operator to any array problems.
The arraymond process is included with the ARM software and is installed with the other software
components. Like ARMServer, the arraymond process is launched automatically when the system is
booted.

Routing arraymond Error Messages

By default, the status messages generated by arraymond are sent to the system console and emailed to
root. The destination for the error messages can be rerouted by editing the contents of the destination
configuration file, etc/hpC2400/arraymon.dest. This file identifies the destinations for all error
messages.
The first line in the file identifies a computer screen (/dev/console) or none (/dev/null), if no
screen messages are desired. The rest of the file identifies electronic mail addresses.
The following example of an arraymon.dest file directs the arraymond process to send its error
messages to the system console and to also mail the messages to three people on other systems.
