Enabling Hardware Event Monitoring

Enabling Hardware Event Monitoring
Hardware event monitoring must be enabled to protect your system from undetected hardware failures. All
hardware monitoring requests are ignored while monitoring is disabled. Once monitoring has been enabled,
all hardware event monitors and their associated monitoring requests will become operational.
NOTE As of the June 1999 release, the hardware event monitors are automatically enabled when the
Support Tools bundle containing STM and the monitors is installed.
NOTE Are There Any Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Hubs or Fibre Channel Switches You
Want to Monitor?
An EMS Hardware Monitor is included for FC-AL hubs and FC switches. However, unlike the
other hardware monitors, these monitors require some initial configuration before they will
function. To ensure that your FC-AL hubs or FC switches are monitored, you should perform
the initial configuration before enabling monitoring. For information on performing the initial
configuration, refer to "Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Hub Monitor", and "Fibre Channel
Switch Monitor" in Chapter 6, "Special Procedures." When you have configured these monitors.

Hardware event monitoring is now enabled. The default monitoring requests shown in Table 2-13 on page 43
