UCS Event Subscription

If you require more details about the operating status, power status, and service profile assignment of your monitored blade servers, enable the Event Subscription setting in the configuration file of the AIM.

Note: When you enable the Event Subscription, the number of the received events in the CA Server Automation manager can significantly increase. The load of SystemEDGE can also be affected. If necessary, install SystemEDGE and the UCS AIM on a separate AIM server.

Follow these steps:

1. Change to the system on which the UCS AIM runs that you want to configure.
2. Navigate to the Install_Dir\SystemEDGE\plugins\ca.aip.cacucsaim directory.
3. Open the cacucsaim.cfg file with Notepad.

   The following XML code appears:

   <properties targetNamespace="http://www.ca.com/cfg/types/2008/05">
       <product name="cacucsaim">
   
         <property name="DEFAULT_POLL_INTERVAL">
           <value>300</value>
           <displayName>Default Poll Interval in Seconds</displayName>
         </property>
         
         <property name="UCS_EVENT_SUBSCRIPTION">
           <value>DISABLE</value>
           <displayName>Default UCS event subscription setting. DISABLE or ENABLE.</displayName>
         </property>
         
       </product>
   </properties>
   

4. Replace DISABLE by ENABLE and save the file.

   ...
   <property name="UCS_EVENT_SUBSCRIPTION">
     <value>ENABLE</value>
     <displayName>Default UCS event subscription setting. DISABLE or ENABLE.</displayName>
   </property>
   ...
   

5. Open the Control Panel from the Start menu and open CA SystemEDGE.

   The SystemEDGE Control Panel appears.

6. Stop and Restart SystemEDGE.

   Event Subscription is enabled and you receive the appropriate events in the Event Console on the user interface.
