Setting up the AIX Event Infrastructure

Steps required for setting up the AIX® Event Infrastructure.

The only steps necessary to set up the AIX Event Infrastructure are:

  1. Install the bos.ahafs fileset.
  2. Create the directory for the desired mount point.
  3. Run the following command:
    mount –v ahafs <mount point> <mount point>

    Example

    mkdir /aha 
    mount -v ahafs /aha /aha

    Mounting an AIX Event Infrastructure file system will automatically load the kernel extension and create all monitor factories. Only one instance of an AIX Event Infrastructure file system may be mounted at a time. An AIX Event Infrastructure file system may be mounted on any regular directory, but it is suggested that users use /aha.
