System Fault Management is a suite of advanced hardware fault technologies that protects hardware against failures and reports predictive information and corrective action events. System Fault Management is available for HP 9000 systems running Version 2 Update 2, and Integrity servers running HP-UX 11i version 2 Update 2.
System Fault Management integrates into HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) using industry-standard Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) instrumentation.
Integration among standards-compliant system management applications, as with HP SIM, provides a holistic and comprehensive view of HP 9000 systems' and HP Integrity server's wellbeing.
System Fault Management uses industry-standard Desktop Management Taskforce (DMTF) WBEM to provide advanced system level monitoring capabilities to protect hardware against failures that could interrupt system operation.
In addition, System Fault Management allows for configuration of notification thresholds for reporting predictive information and corrective action events. Configurable thresholds enable system administrators to customize notifications to match the desired availability service level.
System Fault Management includes providers to gather and model information and deliver it to the network management application through an industry standard interface (that is, using CIM specifications, through XML over HTTP).
The CPU Instance Provider gathers information about the central processors of an HP 9000 server.
The Memory Instance Provider gathers information about the memory configuration of an HP 9000 server.
The EMS Wrapper Provider translates hardware events from Event Monitoring System (EMS) hardware monitors into a form that is compatible with WBEM.
System Fault Management is available in HP SIM by selecting a system with System Fault Management installed and then select Tools System Information System Page.
