HP-UX WBEM RAIDSA Indication Provider Datasheet, April 2010

Configuring Native
Indication Provider
Native Indication provider uses configuration file under
/opt/raidsaprovider/conf/
RAIDSALoggerConfig.xml
The file specifies the logging threshold severity, and the location of the log-file. The contents of the file are
as follows:
<RAIDSAConfig>
<LoggerConfig>
<Severity> WARNING </Severity> <!-- Possible Values are
MILESTONE,INFORMATIONAL, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL, STOPLOGGING -->
<Target> /var/opt/raidsaprovider/log/raidsaprovider.log </Target>
<FileSize> 20480 </FileSize> <!-- sets the max. file size in KB. Min
allowed value 2KB, Max allowed value , 1048576 KB (1 GB) -->
<NBackupFiles> 3 </NBackupFiles> <!-- Number of files to roll over.
Min allowed value 1, Max allowed value 10 -->
</LoggerConfig>
</RAIDSAConfig>
In order to change the logging configuration, the following steps are to be
followed:
1. Edit the configuration file to change the threshold logging level
and/or target.
a) Threshold: Possible values are (in increasing severity)
INFORMATIONAL
WARNING
ERROR
CRITICAL
STOPLOGGING
MILESTONE
All these changes will be effective after the provider restart.
NOTE:
The INFORMATIONAL logging severity will generate a lot of log-messages.
It is strongly advised not to
use this severity level for a long time, for the
generated log-files may use a lot of disk space. The default (and
recommended)
threshold in the runtime environment is WARNING.
Target: Possible values include:
(i) STDOUT: All log messages are delivered to console.
(ii) The complete path to the file where the log messages are to be written
Using This Provider
Schema supported by this
provider
This Provider services HP_DeviceIndication class and is co
mpliant with CIMSchema v2.7. Table 1
shows the properties of HP_DeviceIndication class that are supported by the provider.
Clients are expected to:
 Subscribe to this provider using a CIMClient (could be Java/C++ client or wbemexec)
 Write an appropriate WBEM consumer to consume the indications generated by
Table 1: HP_DeviceIndication and base classes’ supported properties. Properties that are not supported are not mentioned.)
Table 1 describes the properties of the HP_DeviceIndication and base classes’ . It has three columns. The first is the property name (including type
and units), the second lists the property inheritance (indicating which class or super class defines the property), and the third discusses the property
and its value. Each row describes a property. Note: while some properties in the table are marked with the “Write” qualifier (based on their
designation in the DMTF CIM schema), all properties are in fact read-only for this version of the HP-UX Storage Provider.

Properties of CIM_Indication
String IndicationIdentifier
Inherited from CIM_Indication
A unique identifier for the indication similar to a key
value that can be used for identification.
For example, _eventNumber+ CIMDateTime.toString()
