Introduction

Overview

The SFM software is a collection of tools used to monitor the health of HP servers running HP-UX. SFM retrieves information about a system’s hardware devices such as CPU, memory, power supply, and cooling devices. SFM operates within the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) environment.

WBEM is an industry-wide standards-based initiative to aid the management of large scale systems. WBEM has the following components:

• A WBEM infrastructure, such as HP WBEM services. SFM uses the Common Information Model Object Manager (CIMOM) WBEM service to route query requests and responses between WBEM providers and clients. Clients must be compliant with the Common Information Model (CIM) (2.7) schema of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF).

• A WBEM-based network management application, such as the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH), a user interface for controlling and monitoring resources within a large-scale system. SFM can use HP SIM to display query information for local and remote systems.

• WBEM providers that obtain information. SFM includes instance and indication providers, which are one set of WBEM providers among many. SFM providers query and provide system hardware property and event information.

Chapter 1 13

Introduction

Features and Benefits

SFM dynamically queries on request property information about a hardware device on a local or remote system. It offers the following features and benefits:

• Displays information on standards-compliant graphical and command-line system management applications, such as HP SIM and HP SMH.

• Operates within the WBEM environment.

• Supports the Central Management Server (CMS) running on HP-UX, Linux®, or Windows®.

• Enables you to view and administer WBEM indications.

• Provides the same features and benefits as those found in the EMS Hardware Monitors.

NOTE SFM is the future replacement of EMS Hardware Monitors.

Chapter 114

Introduction

Providers

SFM providers can be classified as instance providers or as indication providers. This section describes these providers.

Chapter 1 15

Introduction

Providers

Instance Providers

On request, an SFM instance provider dynamically queries the local or remote system for the property information described in Table 1-1 and reports the information to the CIMOM.

Table 1-1 Instance Providers

Instance Provider Description

CPU The CPU Instance Provider gathers the

following types of information:

• Logical processor information, such as:

— Current clock speed — Processor family — Processor status information,

including configuration and deconfiguration, failure status, and active and inactive status

— Load percentage

• Physical processor chip information, such as chip revisions and architecture revisions

• Location details, such as:

— Location attributes such as cabinet

number, cell number, slot number, and so on. Only information for filled slots is available.

— Processor IDs

The CPU Instance Provider depends on the EMS Wrapper Provider to update the processor inventory.

•Fans

• Power supply

• Bulk power supply

• AC input lines

Filter Metadata (FMD) The FMD Instance Provider does the

following:

• Provides the ability to predefine a filter in a repository

• Ensures that chosen indications are logged to the Event Archive

• Creates HP-advised subscriptions when SFM is installed

Chapter 1 17

Introduction

Providers

Indication Providers

SFM includes one indication provider called the EMS Wrapper Provider. This provider converts hardware events received from EMS Hardware Monitors into WBEM indications. The EMS Hardware Monitors constantly monitor the system hardware resources for any unusual activity. When any unusual activity is detected on a monitored resource, the EMS monitor that is monitoring the resource generates an event that includes details of the problem and notify the EMS Wrapper Provider through the EMS framework. The EMS Wrapper Provider receives these events and converts them into WBEM indications.

The EMS Wrapper Provider then reports these indications to the CIMOM. Using a WBEM-based management application, such as HP SIM, you can subscribe to and receive Event Monitoring Service (EMS) events generated on a remote system. On the system on which SFM is installed, you can use an SFM tool called EVWEB to view and administer events through the HP SMH interface.

NOTE The terms events and indications are used interchangeably.

Chapter 118

Introduction

User Interfaces

You can use two types of interfaces to view SFM provider queries: HP SIM and HP SMH. This section describes these interfaces.

HP Systems Insight Manager

HP SIM is a WBEM-based user interface for controlling and monitoring resources within a large-scale system. You can use HP SIM to create subscriptions and to view indications and instances on a remote system. You must install HP SIM on the CMS. You can use HP SIM to launch HP SMH.

HP System Management Homepage

HP SMH is a secure, Web-based management application. You must install HP SMH on a local system to view hardware configuration, status data, performance metrics, system thresholds, and software version control information. You can also launch HP SMH from HP SIM remotely.

Chapter 1 19

Introduction

Architecture

Figure 1-1 illustrates the architecture of SFM installed on a PA-RISC-based client system. The client system is managed by the CMS.

Figure 1-1 Block Diagram of SFM on PA-RISC-Systems

The following list describes the sequence of events when a request is made for information:

1. The CIMOM receives requests from the CMS for device information.

2. 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.

3. The SFM provider queries the associated hardware device for property information.

4. The SFM provider returns the query information to the CIMOM.

5. The CIMOM conveys the responses from the provider to the CMS.

Chapter 120

Introduction

Architecture

Information can be viewed using HP SIM on the remote system and HP SMH on the local system.

The following list describes the sequence of events when an event is generated from an EMS monitor:

1. The EMS Wrapper Provider receives events generated by the EMS monitors through the EMS framework.

2. The provider converts these events into WBEM indications and reports these indications to the CIMOM.

3. 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.

Configuring Indication Filters

You must configure indication filters to view desired indications. The Filter Metadata Provider (FMD) helps configure indication filters that deliver important or desired indications, for example, indications with a certain severity. The provider also ensures that all the indications recommended by HP for system management are logged in the Event Archive, available at /var/opt/sfmdb/pgsql. Logging indications in the archive helps track all the events that are generated.

Filters are classified as follows:

• HP-Defined Filters HP-Defined filters are defined by HP, and are present in the FMD

repository at the time of installation. You can enable or disable HP-Defined filters. To enable HP-Defined filters, run fmdcontrol

enable at the HP-UX prompt. To disable HP-Defined filters, run fmdcontrol disable at the HP-UX prompt. Indications fulfilling

the conditions in the HP-Known HP-Defined filters are logged in the Event Archive. These subscriptions ensure that all the indications recommended by HP for system management are logged in the Event Archive.

• Admin-Defined Filters You can create, delete, and modify Admin-Defined filters by using the

fmdcontrol command. You can also enable or disable Admin-Defined filters. HP does not provide any Admin-Defined filter. You must create filters. By default, the FMD Provider does not log indications fulfilling the conditions in the Admin-Defined filters, in the Event Archive. You must modify the Admin-Defined filters to log indications in the Event Archive.

For more information about the fmdcontrol command and its options, run man fmdcontrol at the HP-UX prompt.

Chapter 240

Installing the SFM Software

Configuring Error Logging in SFM

You can configure such error logging parameters as severity, location of logs, and the number of backup files using the fmControl command. To configure these parameters, complete the following steps:

Step 1. Modify the /opt/sfm/conf/FMLoggerConfig.xml configuration file

using a text editor.

Step 2. Run the /opt/sfm/bin/fmControl

/opt/sfm/conf/FMLoggerConfig.xml command for the changes in the /opt/sfm/conf/FMLoggerConfig.xml configuration file to take effect.

For more information about the fmcontrol command, enter man fmControl at the HP-UX prompt.

NOTE You can configure parameters using the command-line interface (CLI)

only.

Overview

SFM includes a user component called EVWEB that enables you to administer and view WBEM indications generated on the system on which SFM is installed.

EVWEB includes the following components:

• Event Subscription Administration – to subscribe to indications

• Event Viewer – to view indications present in the Event Archive

• Indication Consumer for Event Archive – to store indications in the Event Archive

• Indication Consumer for Email – to send indications to your email address

• Event Archive database – to include indications you have subscribed to

Chapter 474

Administering Indications and Instances Using HP SMH

Administering Indications Using EVWEB

EVWEB provides the following user interfaces to create and manage event subscriptions and view indications:

• Browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)

• Command-Line Interface (CLI)

EVWEB supports the following user groups:

• Administrator

• Non-administrator

In the CLI, any user with root privileges is an administrator. However, in the HP SMH GUI, the user groups in EVWEB are mapped to the user groups defined in HP SMH.

The Administrator user group in HP SMH maps to administrators in EVWEB. The Operator and the User user group in HP SMH map to non-administrators in EVWEB.

NOTE For information on how to configure user groups in HP SMH, see the HP

System Management Homepage User’s Guide at:

http://www.docs.hp.com

Launching EVWEB for Administration

You can launch EVWEB either through the CLI or through the HP SMH GUI.

To Launch EVWEB using the CLI, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:

# /opt/sfm/bin/evweb subscribe

NOTE To avoid the use of the absolute path for the command, you must add

/opt/sfm/bin to the PATH variable in the .profile file. Alternatively, you can enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:

# export PATH=$PATH:/opt/sfm/bin

Chapter 4 75

Configuring Email Consumer

The Email Consumer is a component of EVWEB that receives indications from the WBEM Services, and redirects them to an SMTP server. Normally, the local system itself is the email server. In such cases, you need not configure the Email Consumer.

If the email server is not on the local system, you must configure the Email Consumer.

To configure the Email Consumer, complete the following steps:

Step 1. Open the /opt/sfm/conf/evweb.conf file on the system.

Step 2. Change the IP address, FULLNAME, and the FROMADDR (From Address) of

the host and save the file.

The IP address is the address of the email server. The FULLNAME refers to the complete name of the email server. The FROMADDR refers to your email address.
