Administrator's and User's Guide for SFM HP-UX 11i v1 December 2006

Service (EMS) events generated on a remote system. On the system on which SFM is installed,
you can use an SFM tool called EVWEB to view and administer events through the HP SMH
interface.
NOTE: The terms events and indications are used interchangeably.
User Interfaces
You can use two types of interfaces to view SFM provider queries: HP SIM and HP SMH. This
section describes these interfaces.
HP Systems Insight Manager
HP SIM is a WBEM-based user interface for controlling and monitoring resources within a
large-scale system. You can use HP SIM to create subscriptions and to view indications and
instances on a remote system. You must install HP SIM on the CMS. You can use HP SIM to
launch HP SMH.
HP System Management Homepage
HP SMH is a secure, Web-based management application. You must install HP SMH on a local
system to view hardware configuration, status data, performance metrics, system thresholds,
and software version control information. You can also launch HP SMH from HP SIM remotely.
Architecture
Figure 1-1 illustrates the architecture of SFM installed on a PA-RISC-based client system. The
client system is managed by the CMS.
