SFM Providers

SFM providers are tools that gather information related to various hardware devices and report to the Common Interface Model Object Manager

(CIMOM).

Following lists the SFM providers, and their respective functions:

Providers Functions

CPU Instance Provider Retrieves information about processor inventory and consolidated health of the processor subsystem

Memory Instance Provider Gathers information about memory inventory and consolidated health of the memory subsystem

EMS Wrapper Provider

Translates events generated by the EMS Hardware Monitors into indications and reports those

indications to the CIMOM

Filter Metadata (FMD) Provider

Provides the facility to predefine the important filter in a repository. FMD also ensures that all

important or chosen indications are logged to the local event archive. FMD creates HP-advised

subscriptions when SFM is installed.

Environmental Providers

Retrieve information about cooling devices (fans) and power supply (bulk power supply and AC

input lines) on HP servers. They also retrieve consolidated health of cooling, power, system

temperature, and system voltage subsystems on HP servers.

Firmware Revision Instance Provider

Retrieves information about firmware revision of system hardware components, such as system

firmware version and Management Processor (MP) firmware version

Disk Instance Provider

Retrieves information about the consolidated health status and inventory information of direct

attached disk drives, such as SCSI drives

MP Instance Provider Retrieves information about the management processor of the system

Management Processor Instance Provider

The Management Processor Instance Provider is available on PA-RISC-based systems that support

IPMI. However, the IPMI driver must support the IPMI commands for the MP Instance Provider to
