EMS Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v3 March 2013 release

OnlineDiag has to be done. Installing only OnlineDiag will result in the monitoring
of core hardware components being left out.
Prerequisites
Following are the prerequisites for installing Diagnostics and Support Tools:
EMS version A.04.20.31 or later
ProviderSvcsBase C.01.00.xx (March 2009) or later
The OnlineDiag depot is available for download on the OE media and web. Starting
from HP-UX 11i v3 September 2011 release, all the products namely
ProviderSvcsBase, SysFaultMgmt, the I/O Providers namely HP-UX WBEM RAIDSA
Provider, HP-UX WBEM SAS Provider, HP-UX WBEM Fibre-Channel Provider, HP-UX
WBEM Direct Attached Storage Provider (DASProvider) must be installed together
to maintain compatibility among the diagnostic products.
On web:
September 2011 web release onwards, all the HP-UX 11i v3 version of WBEM
providers and Diagnostics products, are available for download on the WBEM
Management bundle for HP-UX 11i v3 bundle page at https://
h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?
productNumber=WBEMMgmtBundle.
NOTE: HP's WBEM Management bundle is released only on the web. All the
products from the WBEM Management bundle must be installed together. This is
due to product interdependency. These products might not work if they are installed
individually.
Notes:
• The requirements are available on the Operating Environment (OE) media.
• ProviderSvcsBase: The ProviderSvcsBase product offers interface for user space
processes (typically, but not limited to, WBEM Indication Providers) to retrieve
error logs from HP-UX Kernel. Using these error logs, a user space process can
generate event (WBEM indication or EMS event), when an event of interest
occurs on the system.
Loading patches
You can install the patches in one of the following ways:
Method 1:
Install the entire Hardware Enablement Bundle (HWE) or Quality Pack (QPK) patch
bundle for your system. This is a simple and tested process. However, the volume
of the patch bundle can be big.
Method 2:
Install only the individual patches required from the patch bundle available on the
OE media. This method is advantageous because the size of the patches is small.
However, you must select and install patches manually.
Method 3:
Install individual patches from the HP IT Resource Center at:
