These release notes cover the Initial 2004 Release of System Fault Management (SysFaultMgmt).
System Fault Management (SysFaultMgmt) is a collection of tools for monitoring the health of HP servers and getting information about hardware, such as memory and CPU. These tools operate within the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) environment.
For the latest and most complete information on SysFaultMgmt, see the "System Fault Management" section on the Diagnostics Homepage at http://docs.hp.com/hpux/diag/index.html.
The following providers are supplied:
- CPU Instance Provider (gathers information about the central processor units of HP servers)
- Memory Instance Provider (gathers information about the memory configuration of HP servers)
- EMS-to-WBEM Wrapper Provider (translates hardware events from EMS hardware monitors into "indications," a format that is compatible with WBEM)
Changes in SysFaultMgmt for this release include:
No changes (this is the initial release).
- General
- The current implementation of the logging mechanism assumes that the path to the log file (target specified in the configuration file) already exists. For example, if the target is specified as /abc/def/ghi.log, the path /abc/def/ should already exist, and should be writable by root-user.
- CPU Instance Provider
- None
- Memory Instance Provider
- None
- EMS Wrapper Provider
- None
For the initial release of SysFaultMgmt, only one patch may be required. If the computer is running HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) and the EMS version is A.04.00 and upwards, OS Patch PHCO_29495 is required for a successful installation.
The EMS-to-WBEM Wrapper Provider supports all platforms running HP-UX 11i v1.
The Memory Instance Provider and CPU Instance Provider support the following OS and Platform combinations:
- PA-RISC servers (HP-UX 11i v1) - 32-Bit Platforms
- A180, A180C
- D200, D210, D280 (Hvers 0x589 not 0x5A9), D350, D360
- K100, K210, K220, K360 (HVERS 0x591 not 0x5A6), K370, K380, K400, K410, K420
- PA-RISC servers (HP-UX 11i v1) - 32/64-Bit Platforms
- D390
- K450, K460, K570, K580
- PA-RISC servers (HP-UX 11i v1) - 64-Bit Platforms
- A400, A500
- K250, K260, K360 (HVERS 0x5B6 not 0x5A6), K370, K380
- L1000, L2000, L3000
- N4000
- rp7410
- rp8400
- SD16000, SD32000, SD64000
When a client makes a call to the CPU or Memory Provider on an unsupported system, a "CIMNotSupported" exception will occur. The EMS-to-WBEM Wrapper Provider, however, will work on all HP-UX 11i v1 platforms, including those that are not supported by the CPU or Memory Providers.
For PA-RISC servers running HP-UX 11i v1 (HP-UX B.11.11) and later:
- LPMC (now CPU) (lpmc_em)
- Memory (dm_memory)
- Core HW (dm_core_hw)
- Chassis Code (dm_chassis)
- Disk (disk_em)
- High Availability Disk Array (ha_disk_array)
- Integrity Core Hardware Monitor(ia64_corehw)
- IPMI Forward Progress Log Monitor (fpl_em)
Use CHART to report defects in System Fault Management. The project name is diag.sfm.providers. If you don't have access to CHART, contact an HP representative to enter a defect for you.
The SysFaultMgmt providers are installed as part of the SysFaultMgmt bundle (product number SYSFAULTMGMT). In addition, the EMS Wrapper provider utilizes the EMS framework, product number B7609BA.
