HP-UX WBEM Fibre Channel Provider release notes (5900-2318, September 2012)

connected hardware. This reverse wrapper converts the WBEM event to the corresponding
EMS event.
The introduction of this native support adds to support the following EMS resource paths:
/adapters/events/ql_wrapper_wbem
/adapters/events/fclp_wrapper_wbem
On the other hand, as the process for dm_ql_adapter and dm_fclp_adapter are never
launched, the corresponding EMS resource paths are not monitored:
/adapters/events/ql_adapter
/adapters/events/fclp_adapter
The FCIndication provider crashes while upgrading from versions earlier than the March 2012
release. This problem does not occur while upgrading from March 2012 release to any later
releases.
Problem: When the first node of the hostname is changed to a name that has more than 8
characters, the FCProvider fails to report the events.
Workaround: To ensure FCProvider works as expected, change the first node of the hostname
to a name that has less than 8 characters.
Following is the limitation of the FC provider:
It is a read-only provider and hence does not allow users to modify, create, or delete instances.
