clients to subscribe to indications, and indication consumers to receive indications. HP-Storage Indication

Provider is a Common Information Model (CIM) indication provider. It works in the Web-Based Enterprise

Management (WBEM) environment. This provider generates indications whenever the events of interest

occur in the storage subsystems.

On legacy servers, HPUXStorageIndicationProviderModule generates indications of the type

HP_DeviceIndication class.

On New Generation Integrity servers, HPUXStorageNativeProviderModule generates indications of the type

HP_DeviceIndication class.

PAGE 4
string EventID Inherited from CIM_AlertIndication An instrumentation or provider specific value that describes the underlying "real-world" event represented by the Indication. For example, 8 datetime EventTime Inherited from CIM_AlertIndication The time and date when the underlying event was first detected. This property corresponds to the field “Event time” in the EMS event notification.
PAGE 5
string OSVersion Inherited from HP_AlertIndication Version of the OS on the system that generates the indication. This property corresponds to the “OS Version” field in the EMS event notification. For example, “B.11.23” string[] NetworkAddresses Inherited from HP_AlertIndication Array of ALL the network addresses of the system generating the indication. For example., “15.13.1.
PAGE 6
For example., “0/4/1/0” string[] HWSerialNumber Inherited from HP_HardwareIndication Array of all the serial numbers of the hardware associated with the indication. This property corresponds to the “Serial Number” field in the EMS event notification. For example, “A56A00295354” Properties of HP_DeviceIndication string DevicePermanentName Local to HP_DeviceIndication The permanent, system unique, name of the device, encoded as a string parameter.
