6.7.4 Copying an alarm table

To copy an alarm table, you can use the jpctool alarm copy command.

Notes:
  • When you make a copy of an alarm table, the copy belongs to the same PFM - Agent or PFM - RM as the original. You cannot make a copy of an alarm table as an alarm table belonging to another PFM - Agent or PFM - RM.

  • For the destination alarm table name, you cannot specify a name that begins with PFM.

  1. Log on to a host where PFM - Manager is installed.

  2. Execute the jpctool alarm list command to view the name of the alarm table to copy.

    For example, execute the following command when you want to view the alarm table names defined in the PFM - Agent for Platform (UNIX):

    jpctool alarm list -key UNIX

    The output is shown below. In this example, you can see that only the monitoring template is defined.

    Product ID:U
    Alarm Table Name:
      PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 6.70
      PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 7.00

    For further details on the jpctool alarm list command, see the chapter that describes the command in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.

  3. Execute the jpctool alarm copy command.

    For example, execute the following command when you want to copy the monitoring template PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 7.00 of the PFM - Agent for Platform (UNIX) as the alarm table named alarmtable1:

    jpctool alarm copy -key UNIX -table "PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 7.00" -name alarmtable1

    For details on the jpctool alarm copy command, see the chapter that describes the command in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.

  4. Execute the jpctool alarm list command to make sure that the alarm table has been copied.

    Like in step 2, execute the command as follows:

    jpctool alarm list -key UNIX

    The output is shown below. In this example, you can see that the alarm table alarmtable1 is newly created.

    Product ID:U
    Alarm Table Name:
      alarmtable1
      PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 6.70
      PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 7.00

    For further details on the jpctool alarm list command, see the chapter that describes the command in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.
