Event Monitoring Service
Event Monitoring Service (EMS) is the framework for monitoring hardware and reporting events. Use EMS
to eliminate most undetected hardware failures that cause data loss or interruptions of system operation. You
can monitor a hardware device (such as a disk) for any unusual activity (called an event). When an event
occurs, it is reported by a variety of notification methods, such as email. Event detections are handled
automatically with minimal involvement on your part.
The following monitors are available:
•
CMC monitor
•
UPS monitor
•
FC hub monitor
•
FC switch monitor
•
Peripheral status monitor
•
Memory monitor
