Steps to Obtain EMS Data to Reproduce an EMS Problem

Enable debugging for EMS by issuing the command

# touch /etc/opt/resmon/debug

Enable diskmond logging and debugging.

# vi /etc/opt/resmon/dictionary/diskmond.dict

Change the following line:

MONITOR: /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/diskmond
to
MONITOR: /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/diskmond -l -d

	NOTE: Do not save the backup copy of the diskmond.dict file in the /etc/opt/resmon/dictionary directory or in any subdirectory. If you want to make a backup copy of the diskmond.dict file, save it to /tmp or any similiar path.

Create the file /etc/opt/resmon/unlimited_log. If you do not create this file, the log files will be overwritten once they reach 500 KB in size.

# touch /etc/opt/resmon/unlimited_log

The EMS log files in /etc/opt/resmon/unlimited_log are limited to 500 KB in size and are then moved to <logfile>.old. The previous *.old file is lost. The limit of 500 KB per log file can be removed by creating the file /etc/opt/resmon/unlimited_log.

	WARNING! Be careful while creating this file. Growing EMS log files can easily fill up your root file system.

Set up everything for reproduction.

Backup the /etc/opt/resmon/ tree:

# mkdir -p /tmp/RESMON/before
# cp -Rp /etc/opt/resmon/* /tmp/RESMON/before

Save logfiles (if needed):

# cd /etc/opt/resmon/log
# tar cvf /tmp/oldlogs.tar *
# cd /var/opt/resmon/log
# tar rvf /tmp/oldlogs.tar diskmond.log

Clear logfiles:

# for i in /etc/opt/resmon/log/*log*
/var/opt/resmon/log/diskmond.log
> do
> rm $i
> done

Restart EMS and reproduce the problem.

# kill <pid of diskmond>
# kill <pid of registrar>
# date > /tmp/RESMON/startdate; kill <pid of p_client>
# <steps to reproduce>

Check if you have successfully reproduced the problem.

Collect the data.

# cd /etc/opt
# tar cvf /tmp/RESMON/after.tar ./resmon
# cd /var/opt/resmon/log
# tar rvf /tmp/RESMON/after.tar diskmond.log

Disable debug logging.

rm /etc/opt/resmon/debug

Edit the diskmond.dict file.

Kill diskmond, registrar, p_client.
