Open Problem Reports Against ptx/SESMON V1.0.1

The following problem reports are open against ptx/SESMON V1.0.1.


3.1 (24935 ) man page interval description incorrect

The sesmond man page description does not correctly specify the default behavior for the -i option. The description reads as follows:

-i msg-interval
Log non-critical failures every msg-interval polling periods. The default is to log non-critical failures once, and critical failures every polling period. This option only applies to sesmond.

The description should read as follows:

-i msg-interval
Log non-critical failures every msg-interval polling periods. The default is to log non-critical failures once every 240 poll intervals, and critical failures every polling period. This option only applies to sesmond.

3.2 (245627) SESMON displays wrong info when DAEs have same enclosure address, even on different loops

If two DAE units, even on different FC loops, are connected to the same NUMA-Q system, the sesmon -d and sesmon -x commands (used to limit the number of enclosures monitored or checked) behave improperly. In such cases, the -d option selects more than the one enclosure specified and the -x excludes more than the one enclosure specified.

Workaround: Using the enclosure address switch on the front panel, give each DAE on the system an enclosure address that is unique across the entire system.
