Supported browsers
Following lists the browsers supported by SFM:
• Internet explorer version 6.0 and above
• Mozilla version 1.5 and above
Limitations
• If the default log directory is deleted, log messages are not logged. A message is logged in
syslog stating that the SFM log file could not be opened. Only a root user can remove this
directory. HP recommends that users do not delete this default log directory.
• After the system is rebooted or the CIMOM is restarted, the first request to SFM hardware
inventory providers such as the CPU Instance Provider, Memory Provider, and the Environmental
Providers may fail with the generation of the CIM_ERR_FAILED status code. Also, a message
is displayed on the client system that states " Inventory information is being built currently.
Please try after some time" . However, on subsequent requests, the SFM hardware inventory
providers respond with requested information instantaneously.
• Hardware inventory providers are not supported on HP Virtual Machines. For indication
providers, only FPL and ia64_corehw indications are generated on HPVM guests.
• The errors processed by the SFMIndicationProvider cannot be sent to the EMS monitors when
you switch from the SFMIndicationProvider to EMS monitors.
