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

Block Diagram of SFM

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

  1. The CIMOM receives requests from the CMS for information about devices.

  2. The CIMOM 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.

    You can view the information 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. EVWEB and CMS subscriptions are created.

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

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

  4. CIMOM directs these indications to the CMS that has created subscriptions for indications. EVWEB retrieves the errors that occurred on the local system and stores the indications either in the Event Archive or in your E-mail box, or both, depending on your configuration.

    You can view indications using HP SIM on the remote system and HP SMH on the local system.

The sequence of events if you choose to use the SFMIndicationProvider instead of the EMS monitors it substitutes, is as follows:

  1. EVWEB and CMS subscriptions are created.

  2. The SFMIndicationProvider generates WBEM indications that are triggered by errors on devices that it monitors.

  3. The provider reports these WBEM indications to the CIMOM.

  4. 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, in syslog, or in your E-mail box, or all, depending on your configuration.

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

  5. The indications generated by the SFMIndicationProvider, and reported to the CIMOM, can also be directed to the EMS framework through the WBEM Wrapper Monitor. The WBEM Wrapper Monitor converts the WBEM indications into EMS events and directs them to the EMS framework.

    EMS clients can receive these events, along with the other events generated by the EMS monitors, through the EMS framework.

    NOTE:
    1. Only those indications that are generated by the SFMIndicationProvider in the SFM monitoring mode, can be directed to the EMS framework through the WBEM Wrapper Monitor. Indications generated by the EMS Wrapper Provider in the EMS monitoring mode, cannot be directed to the EMS framework.

    2. You can continue to receive all events from EMS Hardware Monitors through the EMS framework along with the indications on EVWEB and CMS.

The following list describes the sequence of events when an event is generated by EVM:

  1. EVWEB and CMS subscriptions are created.

  2. The EVM CIM Provider receives events posted by the posting clients through the EVM Daemon.

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

  4. CIMOM directs these indications to EMT and the CMS that has created subscriptions for indications. EVWEB retrieves the errors that occurred on the local system and stores the indications either in the Event Archive, in syslog, or in your E-mail box, or all, depending on your configuration.

    You can view indications using HP SIM on the remote system and HP SMH on the local system.
