To Disable Monitoring for a Server Group

This procedure describes how to disable monitoring for a server group. You might want to disable monitoring of hardware components to perform maintenance tasks without generating events.

When you disable monitoring for a server, hardware health monitoring, OS monitoring, and network reachability monitoring are all disabled for that server.

Steps

1. Log in to the N1 System Manager.

   See To Access the N1 System Manager Command Line for details.

2. Set the monitored attribute to false by using the set group command.

   N1-ok> set group group monitored false

   This command is executed for the group of servers that you have already named. See set group in Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Command Line Reference Manual for details. In this procedure, group is the name of the group of provisionable servers that you want to stop monitoring. Executing this command disables monitoring for all servers in the group. With monitoring of a server group disabled, the violation of threshold values by attributes related to servers in that group does not generate events.

3. View the server group details to determine if monitoring is disabled for all servers in the group.

   N1-ok> show group group
