Property Pages
Use Property pages to view WBEM properties on remote target systems (HP-UX, HP-UX IPF, Linux IPF, Linux
x86, Windows, and Dec Alpha). OpenWBEM is not supported.
The WBEM name and password pairs entered under Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol
Settings control the amount of data that appears on the Property pages. If the root name and password
pair are not available, many properties are omitted because target system providers require root access.
You can access Property pages in the following ways:
• From the System Page on the System tab, click Properties. The Property pages appear for the
target system.
• Select Tools→System Information→Properties, select the target system, and click Run now. The
Property pages display for the target system.
The supported versions for indications on Linux IPF include:
• RHEL4
• RHEL5
• SLES9
• SLES10
Also, the HP ProLiant Support Pack 3.90 or later must be installed on the system.
The Property pages open in a new window if launched from the Systems Page or from the Tools menu.
The Property pages include three tabs:
• Identity. Displays WBEM properties that help describe the target system including location, local time,
operating system characteristics, and owner information. The computer system status is based on the
status returned from the WBEM Computer System provider.
• Status. Displays WBEM properties that help determine the status of the target system, such as
determining memory status and process status. Depending on the target system installation of WBEM,
you might be able to determine status on all major computer subsystems. A status icon for each
component appears next to each status property. Computer system status is determined by information
collected through the WBEM protocol and the information provided by the WMI provider. For more
information about the hardware status icons that can be displayed, see “System status types”.
NOTE: When you click the FC HBA link on the Property Pages Status tab, you will receive an error
message. Even though FC control is not present on the system, the FC HBA hyperlink might appear on
the Status tab. For an FC HBA, HP SIM cannot anticipate if there are instances present and might
display this link. If there are instances present, the CIM Client connection might have timed out.
• Configuration. Displays an inventory of the target system based on WBEM properties, including
operating system information, but possibly information about CPUs, disk drives, file systems,
motherboards, software installations, and networks.
NOTE: The date and time displayed on Property pages indicates the time on the target system.
NOTE: OpenWBEM is not supported.
System Fault Management overview
System Fault Management (SFM) is a suite of advanced hardware fault technologies that protects hardware
from failures and reports predictive information and corrective action events. SFM is available for HP 9000
systems running v2 update 2, and Integrity servers running HP-UX 11i v2 update 2.
