SFM Providers

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

(CIMOM).

Table 1 lists the SFM providers, and their respective functions:

Table 1: Providers and their Functions

Providers Functions

BladeProvider and BladeStatusProvider Available on Blade servers, providing Blade Inventory details and health status of blades current partition

EMDProvider Helps to query CER (Common Error Repository) for error metadata used only in SysFaultMgmt.

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

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

CIMOM.

NOTE: This provider and WBEM to EMS Consumer is not supported on HP Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2 &

BL890c i2 Server Blades and HP Integrity Superdome 2.

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.

Event Manager Common Information Model

Indictment does not happen correctly on HP Superdome 2 systems. Problem: When an event with event number 100148 is generated on HP Superdome 2 systems, the indictment does not happen correctly and the HealthState on HR repository does not reflect the correct status. Resolution: This problem is fixed. QXCR1001041822 SFM consumes excessive memory in idle state on HP Superdome 2 systems.

Defect Fixes None Limitations When an HP-advised subscription is copied to create or modify another subscription, the subscription criteria is not copied. However, only destinations are copied to the new subscription. Event details displayed in EVWEB Event Viewer and embedded in the EVWEB email notification may not have similar readability or formatting as provided by the EMS event notification. However, this issue is not applicable to HP_DeviceIndication class indications. EMT This section describes EMT.
