The xfnts_update Method

The RGM calls the UPDATE method to notify a running resource that its properties have changed. The only properties that can be changed for the xfnts data service pertain to the fault monitor. Therefore, whenever a property is updated, the xfnts_update method calls scds_pmf_restart_fm to restart the fault monitor.

Example 7-25

	 * check if the Fault monitor is already running and if so stop
and
	 * restart it. The second parameter to scds_pmf_restart_fm() uniquely
	 * identifies the instance of the fault monitor that needs to be
	 * restarted.
	 */

	scds_syslog(LOG_INFO, "Restarting the fault monitor.");
	result = scds_pmf_restart_fm(scds_handle, 0);
	if (result != SCHA_ERR_NOERR) {
		scds_syslog(LOG_ERR,
		    "Failed to restart fault monitor.");
		/* Free up all the memory allocated by scds_initialize */
		scds_close(&scds_handle);
		return (1);
	}

	scds_syslog(LOG_INFO,
	    "Completed successfully.");

The second parameter to scds_pmf_restart_fm uniquely identifies the instance of the fault monitor to be restarted if there are multiple instances. The value 0 in the example indicates there is only one instance of the fault monitor.
