Cron job
SFM includes the following features from the HP-UX 11i v3 February 2007 release:
• Cron job: When restart is attempted, restart_sfm.sh script handles restart if module is in
degraded state. If the SFMProviderModule is not running, the cron job starts the
SFMProviderModule which in turn starts all the providers.
• Vacuum cron job: Configured to be invoked once a day, the vacuum cron job is used to free
up unused memory space of SFM PostgresSQL database.
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 illustrates the architecture of SFM installed on a client system. The client system is managed
by the CMS.
