IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Device Dependencies attributes

Use the Device Dependencies attributes to obtain status and configuration information about all of the devices or load order groups that must start before a given device. Device Dependencies is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance attribute group.

Dependency The name of a device or load order group that must start before the given device can start. If there are no dependencies for the given device, this field is blank. Valid format is a text string of up to 32 characters. For example, +SCSI miniport indicates the name of a device that must start before the given device can start.

Device Name The internal name of the device in the Service Control Manager database. The maximum size of the text string is 256 bytes, but here it is truncated to 64 bytes.

Display Name The name of the service as it is displayed in the Service Control Manager applet. Valid format is a text string of up to 64 characters. For example, Gateway Service indicates the name of the service.

Display Name (Unicode) The name of the device as it is displayed in the Service Control Manager applet in UTF8. Valid format is a text string of up to 388 bytes.

Server Name The managed system name. The form should be hostname:agent_code.

Examples include spark:KNT or deux.raleigh.ibm.com:KNT.

In workspace queries, this attribute should be set equal to the value $NODE$ in order to populate the workspace with data. This attribute is generally not included in situations, unless there is a need to customize the situation for a specific managed system.

Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server samples the data.
