envd Environment Daemon
The envd daemon is a system physical environment daemon which provides a means for
the system to respond to environmental conditions. For example, an over temperature
condition and chassis fan failure detected by the hardware.
Summary of Change
The envd daemon is not supported on the IPF platform in HP-UX 11i v1.6.
Details of Change
The envd is not supported on the IPF platform in HP-UX 11i v1.6 due to the
non-availability of functionality in the underlying layers.
Impact
Though envd is not supported, you have an alternate mechanism on the IPF platform to
detect physical environment events through the Itanium Core Hardware Monitor
(ia64_corehw). For more information, refer to the Itanium Core Hardware Monitor
(ia64_corehw) documentation at:
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/diag/ems/emd_ia64core.htm
Compatibility
Not applicable.
Performance

Obsolescence

Documentation
The manpage for envd (1M) command is changed to indicate that this functionality is
available only on the PA-RISC platform and therefore not supported on the IPF platform
in HP-UX 11i v1.6.
