HP-UX Using the ARM Command Line Utilities for HP-UX The Array Monitor Daemon (arraymond) The Array Monitor Daemon (arraymond) The Array Monitor Daemon, known as the arraymond process, runs at regular intervals (every fifteen minutes) to retrieve disk array status information. The arraymond process uses the arraydsp ARM utility, and therefore requires the ARMServer process to be running. By retrieving status from the disk array at regular intervals, arraymond can alert the system operator to any array problems. The arraymond process is included with the ARM software and is installed with the other software components. Like ARMServer, the arraymond process is launched automatically when the system is booted. Routing arraymond Error Messages By default, the status messages generated by arraymond are sent to the system console and emailed to root. The destination for the error messages can be rerouted by editing the contents of the destination configuration file, etc/hpC2400/arraymon.dest. This file identifies the destinations for all error messages. The first line in the file identifies a computer screen (/dev/console) or none (/dev/null), if no screen messages are desired. The rest of the file identifies electronic mail addresses. The following example of an arraymon.dest file directs the arraymond process to send its error messages to the system console and to also mail the messages to three people on other systems. /dev/console root bob@hpdml69 alex@hpdmm99 35
