Table 2 Indication providers (continued)
DescriptionIndication provider
1. Converts hardware, software, and kernel events generated by
the EVM into WBEM indications.
2. Reports the WBEM indications to the CIMOM. Using a
WBEM-based management application, such as HP SIM, you
can subscribe to and receive EVM 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.
3. Logs messages logged by EVMCimProvider in
/var/opt/sfm/EvmCimProvider.log log file.
The SFMIndicationProvider generates indications that are compliant
with the WBEM standards. On HP Integrity systems, it replaces
the following EMS monitors:
SFMIndicationProvider
• cmc_em
• cpe_em
• memory_ia64
• fpl_em
• ia64_corehw
On HP 9000 systems, it replaces the following EMS monitors:
• fpl_em
• ia64_corehw
On HP Superdome 2, the core analysis engine monitors core
hardware and generates events. DPR and PCI Error Recovery
events are generated on HP-UX . The following indication providers
generate the event respectively:
• CMC_IndicationProviderIA
• PCIeIndicationProvider
You can choose to use either the SFMIndicationProvider or the
EMS monitors that it replaces, to monitor your hardware. The
remaining EMS monitors continue to function as usual irrespective
of whether you choose the SFMIndicationProvider or the EMS
monitors that it replaces. If you choose the SFMIndicationProvider,
it does the following:
1. Generates WBEM indications equivalent to the events that the
monitors it replaces generate.
2. Reports these WBEM indications to the CIMOM.
In the WBEM indication details, the provider name displayed
corresponds with the device to which the indication is related. For
example, if the name of the provider displayed in the event details
is MemoryIndicationProviderIA, the event is related to
memory. For a complete list of the names of providers displayed
in the WBEM indication details, in the SFM mode, see
Table 6 (page 40). The provider names indicate the device to
which the event is related.
For a list of WBEM indications and their details, see the SFM Event
Descriptions at:

The MCA indication provider generates an indication when
Machine Check Abort (MCA) logs are present due to an MCA.
MCA indication provider
The MCA indication provider is available on all HP 9000 and
Integrity systems except for HP Integrity Superdome 2.
