HP-UX Fault Management

Proactive fault prediction and notification is provided on HP-UX by SysFaultMgmt WBEM indication

providers, as well as by the Event Management Service (EMS). The Event Management Service and WBEM

provide frameworks for monitoring and reporting events.

SysFaultMgmt WBEM indication providers and the EMS Hardware Monitors allow users to monitor the

operation of a wide variety of hardware products, and alert them immediately if any failure or other unusual

event occurs. By using hardware event monitoring, users can virtually eliminate undetected hardware

failures that could interrupt server blade operation or cause data loss.

Complete information on installing and using EMS hardware event monitors, as well as a list of supported

hardware, can be found in the EMS Hardware Monitors Users Guide. An electronic copy of this book is

provided on the web site http://docs.hp.com/hpux/diag.
