EVWEB
EVWEB is a component of SFM that enables you to administer and view WBEM indications
generated on the local system on which SFM is installed. For more information on EVWEB, see
“Evweb Overview” (page 53).
EMT
EMT is a component of SFM, which contains most errors that can occur on the HP-UX 11i v3
system. You can view these error messages using HP SMH on the local system. For more
information on EMT, see “EMT Overview” (page 74).
CIMUtil
SFM introduces the CIMUtil command. Using CIMUtil, you can enumerate instances related to
various devices and create filters, handlers, and subscriptions supported by SFM. For more
information on CIMUtil, see man CIMUtil
IPMI Event Viewer
Starting March 2009 release, the IPMI Event Viewer will be delivered as part of SysFaultMgmt.
In the earlier releases it was delivered as part of Online Diagnostics bundle. IPMI Event Viewer
is used to display low-level system log information.
Starting September 2009 release, the IPMI Event Viewer support will be available for the new
IPMI event format.
Providers
SFM providers are components of SFM that retrieve information about the inventory on a system
and the events that occur on the hardware resources. SFM providers can be classified as instance
providers or as indication providers. This section describes SFM providers.
Instance Providers
On request, an SFM instance provider dynamically queries the local or remote system for the
property information described in Table 1-1 and reports the information to the CIMOM.
