Chapter 3 Post Migration Activities

You can start using SFM without performing any specific tasks or special configuration. However, to take advantage of advance capabilities, which SFM provides, HP recommends few one-time, post migration activities.

Upgrading to the Latest Version of SFM and WBEM Providers

To use the new features and enhancement made to SFM and WBEM providers, and to obtain defect fixes, you must download and install the latest version of the product bundle for products mentioned in “Obtaining SFM and WBEM Providers”.

Configuring E-mail Consumer

By default, SFM is configured to send WBEM indications to Event Archive on the local system. To receive an e-mail notification on specific WBEM indications, you must configure the e-mail consumer. For instructions on configuring e-mail consumers, see the System Fault Management Administrator's Guide:

Testing the SFMIndicationProvider

The SFMIndicationProvider operates independent of the EMS framework. Since SFM is the default monitoring mode, the SFMIndicationProvider is configured to generate WBEM indications. However, you can send a test event to verify whether the SFMIndicationProvider is working properly. You can also send test events for devices that the SFMIndicationProvider monitors. For more information, see the System Fault Management Administrator's Guide:

Configuring WBEM Subscriptions on HP SIM

By default WBEM indications are stored on the local system in the Event Archive. You can use EVWEB, which is integrated with HP SMH, for viewing WBEM indications. Alternatively, you can view the WBEM indications using Event Viewer on HP SIM. To view WBEM indications using Event Viewer on HP SIM, you must configure the WBEM subscriptions on HP SIM. For instructions on subscribing to WBEM indications on HP SIM, see the System Fault Management Administrator's Guide:
