Indication Providers
SFM includes two indication providers, the EMS Wrapper Provider and the
SFMIndicationProvider.Table 1-2 describes the SFM indication providers.
Table 1-2 Indication Providers
DescriptionIndication Provider
The EMS Wrapper Provider does the following:
1. Converts hardware events generated by the EMS Hardware
Monitors into WBEM indications.
2. Reports the WBEM indications to the CIMOM. Using a
WBEM-based management application, such as HP SIM, you
can subscribe to and receive Event Monitoring 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.
EMS Wrapper Provider
The SFMIndicationProvider generates indications that are
compliant with the WBEM standards. On Itanium-based systems,
it replaces the following EMS monitors:
• cmc_em
• cpe_em
• memory_ia64
• fpl_em
• ia64_corehw
On PA-RISC-based systems, it replaces the following EMS
monitors:
• fpl_em
• ia64_corehw
You can choose to use either the SFMIndicationProvider or the
EMS monitors that it replaces, to monitor your hardware. The
remaining EMS monitors continue to function as usual
irrespective of whether you choose the SFMIndicationProvider
or the EMS monitors that it replaces. If you choose the
SFMIndicationProvider, it does the following:
1. Generates WBEM indications equivalent to the events that
the monitors it replaces generate.
2. Reports these WBEM indications to the CIMOM.
