Figure 1-1 illustrates
the architecture of SFM installed on a client system.
The sequence of events when a request is made
for information of a managed resource is as follows:
The CIMOM receives
requests from the CMS for device information.
The CIMOM converts the
requests to a format that is deciphered by the SFM providers and directs
the requests to the appropriate SFM provider, for example, the CPU
Instance Provider.
The SFM provider queries
the associated hardware device for property information.
The SFM provider returns
the query information to the CIMOM.
The CIMOM conveys the
responses from the provider to the CMS.
Information can be viewed using HP SIM on the remote system and HP
SMH on the local system.
The sequence of events when an event is generated
from an EMS monitor is as follows:
The EMS Wrapper Provider
receives events generated by the EMS monitors through the EMS framework.
The provider converts
these events into WBEM indications and reports these indications to
the CIMOM.
The CIMOM directs these
indications to Evweb and to the CMS that has created subscriptions
for indications. Evweb then stores the indications either in the Event
Archive or in your E-mail box, or both, depending on your configuration.
Indications can be viewed using HP SIM on the
remote system and HP SMH on the local system.
The sequence of events if you choose to use the
SFMIndicationProvider instead of the EMS monitors it substitutes,
is as follows:
The SFMIndicationProvider
generates WBEM indications that are triggered by errors on devices
that it monitors.
The provider reports these
WBEM indications to the CIMOM.
The CIMOM directs these
indications to Evweb and to the CMS that has created subscriptions
for indications. Evweb then stores the indications either in the Event
Archive or in your E-mail box, or both, depending on your configuration.
Indications can be viewed using HP SIM on the
remote system and HP SMH on the local system.
The indications generated
by the SFMIndicationProvider, and reported to the CIMOM, can also
be directed to the EMS framework through the WBEM Wrapper Monitor.
The WBEM Wrapper Monitor converts the WBEM indications into EMS events
and directs them to the EMS framework.
EMS
clients can receive these events, along with the other events generated
by the EMS monitors, through the EMS framework.
