HP Record Log Profile
Version 1.1.0 21
CIMOM matches indication information with filters and subscription
If there is a match
CIMOM sets properties to values defined by SET command in filter
CIMOM forwards indication to handler
Client receives indication via handler
Client processes indication
Client can call getInstance() using the information in the RecordLogInstanceID to find the
RecordLog that had the entry instance or instances matching the query criteria.
Client can call getInstance() using the information in LogEntryInstanceIDs property to get
instance (or instances) of the records added or modified
The client should save the IDs of the records previously examined and compare the IDs of the
instances to differentiate between new and modified records.
Periodically poll the value of HP_CommonRecordLog.TimeOfLastChange and compare against a
previously saved value. If the value is new, client queries for LogEntry instances with a
CreationTimestamp (and if supported the UpdateTimestamp) newer than the previously saved
TimeOfLastChange. As TimeOfLastChange can be modified for deletion or modification of records, the
query could return no records.
Since the UpdateTimestamp is updated for modifications to the record, the client should save the IDs of
the records previously examined and compare the IDs of the instances to differentiate between new and
modified records.
Display Variable arrays
For each element in Variable arrays
Convert VariableValue into a string using VariableType
Display variable element as VariableName : string value
So, if VariableName[0] = “SCSI Sense Key”
VariableTypes[0] = uint8
VariableValues[0] = 0x02
The client could display “SCSI Sense Key : 0x02
9.14 Representing soft copy and backup copy as RecordLog
If a ClearLog() method also saves a soft copy of the log, the soft copy and the backup copy may be
represented as additional RecordLogs. Figure 5 shows two instances of HP_CommonRecordLog. The
active SEL has a Name of “HP Hardware Log”, while the soft copy has a Name of “Copy HP Hardware
Log”. The copy contains two instances of the HP_CommonLogEntry. Each log entry is associated to the
record log by an instance of the HP_LogManagesRecord aggregation association. The log is associated
to the HP_ComputerSystem instance “System1” via the HP_UseOfLog association.
