EMS Hardware Monitors
Included on the Diagnostic/IPR Media are the EMS Hardware Monitors -- an important
new tool for maintaining system availability. The EMS Hardware Monitors allow you to
monitor the operation of a wide variety of hardware products and be alerted immediately if
any failure or other unusual event occurs. Hardware event monitoring is available to users
running HP-UX 10.20 or 11.x, with a Diagnostic/IPR Media of February 1999 or later..
Hardware event monitoring provides a high level of protection against system hardware
failure. By using hardware event monitoring, you can virtually eliminate undetected
hardware failures that could interrupt system operation or cause data loss.
