The sequence of events when a request is made for information of a managed resource is as
follows:
1. The CIMOM receives requests from the CMS for device information.
2. The CIMOM converts the requests to a format that is deciphered by the SFM providers and
directs the requests to the appropriate SFM provider, for example, the CPU Instance Provider.
3. The SFM provider queries the associated hardware device for property information.
4. The SFM provider returns the query information to the CIMOM.
5. The CIMOM conveys the responses from the provider to the CMS.
Information can be viewed using HP SIM on the remote system and HP SMH on the local
system.
The sequence of events when an event is generated from an EMS monitor is as follows:
1. The EMS Wrapper Provider receives events generated by the EMS monitors through the
EMS framework.
2. The provider converts these events into WBEM indications and reports these indications to
the CIMOM.
3. The CIMOM directs these indications to Evweb and to the CMS that has created subscriptions
for indications. Evweb then stores the indications either in the Event Archive or in your
E-mail box, or both, depending on your configuration.
Indications can be viewed using HP SIM on the remote system and HP SMH on the local
system.
The sequence of events if you choose to use the SFMIndicationProvider instead of the EMS
monitors it substitutes, is as follows:
