A Guide to Migrate Hardware Diagnostics from EMS to WBEM-Based Solution

3 Post Migration Activities
You can start using SFM without performing any specific tasks or special configuration. However,
to take advantage of advance capabilities, which SFM provides, HP recommends few one-time,
post migration activities.
Upgrading to the Latest Version of SFM and WBEM Providers
To use the new features and enhancement made to SFM and WBEM providers, and to obtain
defect fixes, you must download and install the latest version of the product bundle for products
mentioned in “Obtaining SFM and WBEM Providers” (page 10).
Configuring E-mail Consumer
By default, SFM is configured to send WBEM indications to Event Archive on the local system
which can be viewed using EVWEB. To receive an e-mail notification on specific WBEM indications,
you must configure the e-mail consumer. For instructions on configuring e-mail consumers, see the
System Fault Management Administrator's Guide:
www.hp.com/go/hpux-diagnostics-sfm-docs
Configuring Syslog
SFM can be configured to send the WBEM indications to Syslog on a local system, which can be
viewed using EVWEB. Indications can also be viewed using HP SIM on a remote system and HP
SMH on the local system.
Testing the SFMIndicationProvider
The SFMIndicationProvider operates independent of the EMS framework. Since SFM is the default
monitoring mode, the SFMIndicationProvider is configured to generate WBEM indications. However,
you can send a test event to verify whether the SFMIndicationProvider is working properly. You
can also send test events for devices that the SFMIndicationProvider monitors. For more information,
see the System Fault Management Administrator's Guide:
www.hp.com/go/hpux-diagnostics-sfm-docs
Configuring WBEM Subscriptions on HP SIM
By default, the WBEM indications are stored on the local system in the Event Archive. You can use
EVWEB which is integrated with HP SMH GUI, for viewing the WBEM indications. Alternatively,
you can view the WBEM indications using Event Viewer on HP SIM. To view the WBEM indication
on HP SIM, configure HP SIM to subscribe to the WBEM indications, then view indications generated
on a system. For instructions on subscribing to the WBEM indications on HP SIM, see the System
Fault Management Administrator's Guide at:
