HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2007 (Update 1 Release)

The SysFaultMgmt bundle includes the System Fault Management (SFM) software.
The SFM software includes the following tools:
• SFM Providers
SFM monitors the health of HP servers and retrieves information about hardware
such as memory, processors, power supplies, and cooling devices. SFM operates
in the Web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM) environment.
• EVWEB
EVWEB is packaged with SFM and can be used to view and administer WBEM
indications generated on the HP-UX 11i v3 system.
• EMT
EMT enables you to view most errors that can occur on HP-UX 11i v3 systems. It
also provides probable cause for errors, and recommended actions.
CAUTION: Removing the OnlineDiag bundle or the SysFaultMgmt bundle, or
both, prevents products with dependencies on the diagnostics from functioning
correctly. If the OnlineDiag bundle or the SysFaultMgmt bundle are not installed,
protections from some hardware failures are removed. Without these bundles installed
on your system, it is much harder to troubleshoot and fix problems when a hardware
failure occurs. To ensure the reliability of your computer system, HP highly recommends
that you install the OnlineDiag and SysFaultMgmt bundles with HP-UX 11i v3.
With a media install, the OnlineDiag and SysFaultMgmt bundles are installed by
default with any HP-UX 11i Operating Environment.
The following lists the uses of tools contained in OnlineDiag and SysFaultMgmt
bundles:
• Protects your system from hardware failures, for example, memory problems.
• Includes EMS Hardware Monitors that notifies you of hardware events.
• Maintains logs that help you determine the cause of failures.
• Enables you to troubleshoot system problems with the system online.
On most systems, no special configuration of Online Diagnostics is necessary. For
complete information, refer to the diagnostics products documents available at:
