To view the details of an event, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# Evweb eventviewer -E -n <event number>
The details of the specified event such as the summary, description, probable cause, and
recommended actions for the error are displayed.
To switch back from the SFMIndicationProvider to the three EMS Hardware Monitors, enter the
following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# /opt/sfm/bin/sfmconfig -w -e
The following output on the terminal that was used to start the CIMOM indicates that the three
EMS Hardware Monitors have successfully replaced the SFMIndicationProvider:
Enabling EMS hardware monitors and disabling SysFaultMgmt. This may
take a few minutes. SysFaultMgmt will no longer monitor the devices &
EMS hardware monitors will be enabled.
Creating SFMIndicationProvider Subscriptions
The SFMIndicationProvider uses the default Event Qualification (EQ) entries for generating
events. To view the default EQ entries, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# Evweb subscribe -T -g default -l
You cannot modify or delete the default EQ entries. However, you can create custom subscriptions
to receive required indications.
Table 3-1 describes the EQ entries and their values.
