Notes:
• If present, previous versions of SFM (A.01.00.01 or A.03.00.xx) must be uninstalled before
installing SFM version A.04.00.04.
• WBEM Services, Online Diagnostics, SysMgmtWeb, and HP SIM are available on the
Operating Environment (OE) media and can be selected for install during the SFM installation.
• The listed versions of the software are the minimum supported requirements. Subsequent
versions are compatible with this version of SFM unless otherwise noted.
• System Management Homepage (SMH) – bundled in SysMgmtWeb – is an optional install.
However, if it is not installed you can not access the Event Viewer (EVWEB) user interface.
• HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is an optional install. However, HP recommends using
the latest available version to remotely administer indications and instances. The minimum
requirement for this SFM version is the June 2006 releases: HP SIM 5.0 with Update 2-HP-UX
(C.05.00.02.00)
Supported browsers
Following lists the browsers supported by SFM:
• Internet Explorer version 6.0 and above
• Mozilla version 1.5 and above
Limitations
• If the default log directory is deleted, log messages are not logged. A message is logged in
syslog stating that the SFM log file could not be opened. Only a root user can remove this
directory. HP recommends that users do not delete this default log directory.
• After the system is rebooted or the CIMOM is restarted, the first request to SFM hardware
inventory providers such as the CPU Instance Provider, Memory Provider, and the Environmental
Providers may fail with the generation of the CIM_ERR_FAILED status code. Also, a message
is displayed on the client system that states " Inventory information is being built currently.
Please try after some time" . However, on subsequent requests, the SFM hardware inventory
providers respond with requested information instantaneously.
• The MP status displayed on HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) may be reported
as Unknown on certain systems, even if the status of the MP is OK, because the Power On
Self Test (POST) status is not obtained.
• If the POST on the MP fails, the status of the MP is reported as Degraded, indicating an error
on the MP board, even if the MP is functioning properly.
Known problems and workarounds
• None
