Hello Blane.

I have both AIX and Sun servers. I don't know much about the Sun hardware
monitoring but I do watch for errors on AIX servers two ways.

You can setup notification rules in the ODM so that whenever a hardware
error is reported in errpt, errnotify alerts someone via an email or pager
or even TEC alerts. NetView also has the trapgend daemon that converts AIX
errpt messages to NetView traps. Then you setup your NetView rulesets to
notify.

Peace to you too!

Subject: [nv-l] [NV, DM] UNIX hardware monitoring


Good day Tivoliers,

We (ESM) are having a discussion with the UNIX team as to what tool(s) to
use for monitoring the hardware on these platforms.  We have both SUN and
AIX, but the UNIX team has told us that SNMP is useless for this task.  Is
this true?  Up to this point, it hasn't been an issues for us, but it's
coming to the forefront so it needs to be addressed.

Any input would be most appreciated.  Please respond directly as well as to
the list since I only get the digest.  Thanks in advance.

Peace,
