Online Diagnostics
The diagnostics software, which is installed with HP-UX 11i v3, consists
of two product bundles:
• OnlineDiag
• SysFaultMgmt
These bundles include many tools to help verify, troubleshoot, and
monitor PA-RISC and Itanium-based system hardware such as
processors, memory, power supplies, fans, interface cards and mass
storage devices.
The OnlineDiag bundle includes the following tools:
• Support Tools Manager (STM)
STM provides access to a complete set of support tools for use in
verifying and troubleshooting system hardware. STM also provides a
a set of daemons that proactively monitor the system for errors. This
information is used by the EMS Hardware Monitors.
• EMS Hardware Monitors
EMS hardware monitors help detect unusual activities, such as
events, occurring on various hardware resources, thereby preventing
hardware failure. Monitors also provide information about events
that provide recommended solutions to hardware.
The SysFaultMgmt bundle includes the System Fault Management
(SFM) software. The SFM software includes the following tools:
• SFM Providers
SFM monitors the health of HP servers and retrieves information
about hardware such as memory, processors, power supplies, and
cooling devices. SFM operates in the Web-based Enterprise
Management (WBEM) environment.
• EVWEB
EVWEB is packaged with SFM and can be used to view and
administer WBEM indications generated on the HP-UX 11i v3
system.
