IC70532: ALERT SCRIPT UNDER DISK MANAGER AND FABRIC MANAGER DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY

4.2.1 Interim Fix 1 (November 2011) for Tivoli Storage Productivity Center

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Script parameters in "Specify Script" dialog for "PM Monitor
  Failed" alert, do not correspond to the actual parameters send
  to the script.  The real parameters sent are:
  $1 =  <empty string>
  $2 =  <name of the device>
  $3 =  <empty string>
  $4 =  <empty string>
  $5 =   <empty string>
  .
  Besides correcting the info in "Specify Script" dialog, will
  also add some actual values instead of the <empty string>
  Re-create steps:
  Disk Manager > Monitoring > Subsystem Performance Monitors >
  select any available storage subsystems or right-click to Create
  Subsystem Performance Monitor to define alert under Alert panel.
  There should be 5 parameters, but when alert is triggered, only
  2 parameters are received

Problem conclusion

• Now there are 7 relevant parameters added that are filled
  correctly:
  $1 = Performance Monitor
  $2 = <creator>. <name>
  
  $3 =<run-number>
  $4 = <failing-device>.  The device for which the monitor
  failed.
  $5 = <starting-time>. starting time of the monitor for the
  failed device
  $6 = <stopping-time>.  time when the monitor for the device
  failed.
  $7 = <stats-saved>.  a count of the number of performance
  statistics records saved by the monitor for the device, during
  its life time.
