SFM Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v3 March 2013

SFM is the default monitoring mode. However, you can switch to the OnlineDiag monitoring mode.
For information on how to switch to the OnlineDiag mode, see the SFM Administrator's Guide at

The diagnostic mode will be set to SFM mode by default on updating SFM. This overrides any
previous mode setting done manually on the system and needs to be restored. Verify the current
diagnostic mode before and after the update/installation of the WBEM Management Bundle.
