HP-UX WBEM LAN Provider

HP-UX WBEM LAN Provider (WBEMP-LAN-00) is a CIM Provider for Ethernet-based LAN technologies on HP-UX operating system. It consists of three providers: LAN Instance Provider, LAN Indication Provider, and LAN Consolidated Status Provider.

The Instance Provider provides information on LAN interfaces in the system. Client applications can use the LAN Instance Provider to determine all Ethernet LAN links available on the system (registered and known to HP-UX DLPI) and collect information about them.
The HP-UX LAN Indication Provider delivers indications for events that occur on Ethernet interfaces. Client applications can receive indications based on events generated by Ethernet interfaces.
The LAN Consolidated Status Provider reports the consolidated health status of the Ethernet subsystem. Client applications can query the collection class and obtain the consolidated health status.




	IMPORTANT: Installation of DLPI patch PHNE_36839 (supersedes the patch PHNE_35545) is recommended. Installation of this patch will allow the LAN Indication provider to run without impacting the results of Critical Resource Analysis (CRA). CRA is executed before doing PCI online card replacement through SAM, olrad, or the PCI attention button. Without installing the patch PHNE_36839, the exact state of the card installed on the system will not be displayed. The patch PHNE_36839 is available on the ITRC website at http://itrc.hp.com.
