PAGE 3
Table 1 lists the SFM providers, and their respective functions (continued) Providers Functions Enclosure instance provider Retrieves information about the Onboard Administrator (OA), such as OA description, OA IP address, OA MAC address, and the URL to launch the OA. Record log provider Enables event analysis tools such as Web-Based Enterprise Services (WEBES) to access details of indications generated by the SFMIndicationProvider that are available in the SFM database, for event analysis.
PAGE 4
SFM is the default monitoring mode. However, you can switch to the OnlineDiag monitoring mode. For information on how to switch to the OnlineDiag mode, see the SFM Administrator's Guide at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-diagnostics-docs NOTE: OnlineDiag monitoring mode is not supported on HP Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2 & BL890c i2 Server Blades, rx2800 i2, and HP Integrity Superdome 2. Therefore, switching between modes will not be available on these HP Integrity Servers.
PAGE 5
The EVWEB tool includes the following components: • Event subscription administrator Event subscription administrator enables users to subscribe to an indication and view it. In addition, users with administrative privileges can also modify, and delete subscriptions. By subscribing to an indication, users can obtain detailed information about various WBEM indications. As a part of event subscription, users must specify event subscription criteria.
PAGE 6
What is new in this version None Defect fixes None Limitations • When an HP-advised subscription is copied to create or modify another subscription, the subscription criteria is not copied. However, only destinations are copied to the new subscription. • Event details displayed in EVWEB event viewer and embedded in the EVWEB email notification may not have similar readability or formatting as provided by the EMS event notification.
PAGE 7
Following is a limitation of EMT: • When you make a generic query to the CER, a huge amount of data is retrieved from the CER. However, this behavior may affect the performance of EMT.

HP_Blade or the blade property page on HP SMH does not reflect the correct set of blades on the system. Workaround: This problem has the following two workarounds: 1. Use the Onboard Administrator to determine the total number of blades on the system. 2. Disable SFMProviderModule using the cimprovider -dm SFMProviderModule command. Run mv /var/opt/sfm/data/sdrcache /tmp/sdrcache command to move the sdrcache file and enable SFMProviderModule cimprovider -em SFMProviderModule • Problem: CIM_AlertIndication.
