Announcement Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is an industry wide initiative to unify the management of system, networks, and applications across multiple and diverse vendor environments. The WBEM clients use the mass storage providers to gather information about various subsystems. The WBEM standard enables the WBEM clients to subscribe to indications, and indication consumers to receive indications on the occurrence of events of interest on the managed system.
HP-UX WBEM DAS Provider This product is used to diagnose the hardware using the industry standard WBEM format. The provider enables WBEM client applications to retrieve information about Direct Attached Storage systems.
What's New in This Release This provider is supported only on HP-UX 11i v3 OS from the current release.

Known Problems, Workarounds, Limitations Following problems are identified in the current release: • A file named diskaldata will be created in the root directory of a system when DAS provider is started.

This file can be deleted, but the file may reappear. • A core file is created randomly in the var/opt/wbem directory. Occurrence of this file does not affect normal working of the product.
