How the nzOpenPmr tool configured event rules

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote describes the process of how to re-initialise the nzOpenPmr tool.

Symptom

Even though nzOpenPmr --status returns enabled, emails are not being sent and PMR's are not being automatically opened.

Diagnosing The Problem

There are two commands that add and configure event rules:
nzOpenPmr --configure : configures and enables the default set of events:
- hwNeedsAttention
- hwServiceRequested,
- scsiPredictiveFailure
- spuCore
- sysStateChanged

nzOpenPmr --enable : configures five additional events:
- scsiDiskError
- hwVoltageFault
- regenFault
- topologyImbalance
- hwPathDown.

One or both of these commands may not have been run.

Resolving The Problem


The simplest way to ensure that all events are correctly configured and enabled is to reinitialise them. To do that you need to run these commands:

# first restart it.
nzOpenPmr --off
nzOpenPmr --on
# remove all events
nzOpenPmr --remove
# configure and enable to add them all
nzOpenPmr --configure
nzOpenPmr --enable
# check status
nzOpenPmr --status


Once you've done this, you can then test the status of each of the events with

nzOpenPmr --generate
