HP-UX WBEM LAN Provider
HP-UX WBEM LAN Provider (WBEMP-LAN-00) is a CIM Provider for Ethernet-based LAN
technologies on HP-UX operating system. It consists of three providers: LAN Instance Provider,
LAN Indication Provider, and LAN Consolidated Status Provider.
• The Instance Provider provides information on LAN interfaces in the system. Client
applications can use the LAN Instance Provider to determine all Ethernet LAN links available
on the system (registered and known to HP-UX DLPI) and collect information about them.
• The HP-UX LAN Indication Provider delivers indications for events that occur on Ethernet
interfaces. Client applications can receive indications based on events generated by Ethernet
interfaces.
• The LAN Consolidated Status Provider reports the consolidated health status of the Ethernet
subsystem. Client applications can query the collection class and obtain the consolidated
health status.
IMPORTANT: Installation of DLPI patch PHNE_36839 (supersedes the patch PHNE_35545) is
recommended. Installation of this patch will allow the LAN Indication provider to run without
impacting the results of Critical Resource Analysis (CRA). CRA is executed before doing PCI
online card replacement through SAM, olrad, or the PCI attention button.
Without installing the patch PHNE_36839, the exact state of the card installed on the system will
not be displayed.
The patch PHNE_36839 is available on the ITRC website at http://itrc.hp.com.
