SFM Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v3 September 2012 web release

Resolution: This problem is fixed by ensuring changes are committed only after all database
operations for the transaction are complete.
• While performing the product upgrade in the DRD environment, SFM cannot take backup of
the SFM related data from its database.
Problem: The administrator is required to perform manual steps listed in the Installation failure
scenarios document at www.hp.com/go/hpux-diagnostics-sfm-docs, before performing the
product upgrade in DRD environment. The additional steps enables the user to restore the
data from any previous installation of the product. If the restore steps are not performed, SFM
continues to work but will not have any data prior to product upgrade.
Resolution: You can ignore the following message if you have considered the manual steps
for the data restore.
NOTE: Backup taken for old data. Try manual steps for database backup/restore operation

What Is EVWEB
EVWEB is a tool that can be used to view and administer WBEM indications generated on the
HP-UX 11i v3 system.
The EVWEB tool includes the following components:
• Event subscription administrator
Event subscription administrator enables users to subscribe to an indication and view it. In
addition, users with administrative privileges can also modify, and delete subscriptions. By
subscribing to an indication, users can obtain detailed information about various WBEM
indications.
As a part of event subscription, users must specify event subscription criteria. Users must also
select one or more destinations to receive information about indications.
Users can select one or more destination from the following list:
◦ Event archive: The path of Event archive is /var/opt/sfmdb/pgsql for PA-RISC and
/var/opt/psb/db/pgsql/ for Itanium. Event archive is the default destination.
◦ Email: Event notification will be emailed to the specified email address. Users can specify
multiple email addresses.
◦ syslog: The path to syslog is /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.
• Event viewer
The event viewer enables users to view the indications stored in the Event archive. In addition,
users with administrative privileges can also delete these indications. By default, HP-advised
subscriptions are stored in the Event archive. The event viewer also enables users to search
for an indication logged in the Event Archive.
• Log viewer
