• dm_ql_adapter
• dm_fclp_adapter
• dm_TL_adapter
In the previous release, the event IDs of the generated events are not unique across the three
monitors. Due to this, the generated events cannot clearly describe the source of indication.
In the current release, Fibre-Channel Indication provider generate indications from the respective
monitors. When an Event Monitoring System (EMS) event is received, the ProviderName field
value is set as follows depending on the name of the monitor.
For example:
The dm_ql_adapter monitor has the Provider name field value as
HPUXFCDIndicationProvider.
The dm_fclp_adapter monitor has the Provider name field value as
HPUXFCLPIndicationProvider.
The dm_TL_adapter monitor has the Provider name field value as
HPUXTDIndicationProvider.
Based on the Provider name and event ID of the generated events, users can identify the source
and type of indication.
