HP-UX WBEM DAS Provider release notes (5900-2316, September 2012)

NOTE: Registering Storage Native Control Provider

NOTE: Registering the Storage WBEM Native Provider.

ERROR: The "configure" script for "WBEMP-Storage.STORAGE-PROV-RUN"

failed (exit code "1"). The script location was

"/var/adm/sw/products/WBEMP-Storage.2/STORAGE-PROV-RUN/configure".

Workaround: Uninstall the currently running DASProvider (where the problem is seen) and

install either DAS provider version B.11.31.1106 or B.11.31.1109.05.01.

• When DAS provider B.11.31.1103.15 or later is installed on legacy Integrity systems, disk_em

and msamon_sas are not launched regardless of the diag mode.

HPUXDiskNativeIndicationProvider always natively monitors the hardware and generates

WBEM events. The reverse wrapper, DAS_WbemWrapperMonitor, and/or

MSA_WbemWrapperMonitor may be launched depending on the connected hardware. These

reverse wrappers convert the WBEM event to the corresponding EMS event.

The introduction of this native support adds to support the following EMS resource paths:

/storage/events/DAS_wrapper_wbem

/storage/events/MSA_wrapper_wbem

On the other hand, as the process for disk_em and msamon_sas are not launched, the

corresponding EMS resource paths are not monitored:

/storage/events/disks/default

/storage/events/enclosures/msamon_sas

• Problem: There are no email alerts for the subscription.

Description: User do not receive email alerts for existing and new email subscriptions due to

database authorization issue in September 2011 release.

Workaround: There is no workaround for this problem.

• Problem: When the first node of the hostname is changed to a name that has more than 8

characters, the DAS provider fails to report the events.

Workaround: To ensure DAS provider works as expected, change the first node of the hostname

to a name that has less than 8 characters.

The product has the following limitation:

• It is a read-only provider and hence does not allow users to modify, create, or delete instances.
