Migrating from EMS-Based to WBEM-Based Solution

Prerequisites

Starting with the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 release, SFM does not have a prerequisite on OnlineDiag. Instead, SFM and OnlineDiag have placed a prerequisite on the ProviderSvcsBase product. As a part of standalone install, ProviderSvcsBase does not install in the following scenarios:

This implies that an install or an upgrade to SFM March 2009 version or later requires an upgrade of OnlineDiag to March 2009 version or later and vice versa. This is to ensure that both the products remain fully functional.

Migrating from EMS-Based to WBEM-Based Environment

Complete the prerequisites mentioned in “Prerequisites” and install the WBEM providers mentioned in the “Obtaining SFM and WBEM Providers” section. You do not have to perform any additional tasks for migrating from EMS-based to WBEM-based hardware diagnostics solution.

Starting with the HP-UX 11i v3 February 2007 release, SFM is installed by default on a system running HP-UX 11i v3. SFM is the default monitoring mode on HP-UX 11i v3 operating systems starting with the March 2008 release. This means that the core system hardware such as processors, memory, fan, and power supplies are monitored by the SFM monitors instead of the EMS hardware monitors.
