Troubleshooting EVWEB

Cause

The Email Consumer is disabled.

Solution

To check whether the Email Consumer is running, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:

#ps -eaf grep sfmdb

The system registers the Email Consumer only when the first event subscription that has email as the destination is created. As the Email Consumer is initially inactive, you can disable or enable the Email Consumer only after an event subscription having an email as its destination, is created. Ensure that you have entered the correct email address while subscribing to an event.

To enable the Email Consumer, enter the following command at the

HP-UX prompt:

#/opt/wbem/bin/cimprovider -e -m EMEmailConsumerModule

If the Email Consumer is enabled, and the indications are not logged in the Event Archive, check for error logs in the /opt/sfm/log/sfm.log file. For further assistance, contact the HP support center.

NOTE

For you to enable or disable the Event Archive Consumer and the Email

 

Consumer, the CIM server must be running. EVWEB does not log events

 

when the Event Archive Consumer or the Email Consumer is disabled.

 

Problem

 

 

The response time for a command used to view indications from the Event

 

Archive is long.

 

Cause

 

The locale on your system is set to a language other than English.

 

Solution

 

To improve performance of the Event Viewer, set the locale to English.

UX System Fault Management (SFM) Software specifications

HP UX System Fault Management (SFM) Software is a robust tool designed to enhance the stability and reliability of HP-UX systems. This software plays a critical role in fault detection, diagnosis, and recovery, significantly contributing to the overall health of the operating environment.

One of the primary features of HP UX SFM is its ability to monitor system health in real time. By performing continuous diagnostics, SFM can detect potential issues before they escalate into critical failures. This proactive approach allows system administrators to address faults promptly, ensuring minimal downtime and maintaining service availability.

Another important aspect of HP UX SFM is its comprehensive reporting capabilities. The software generates detailed logs and reports on system activities, errors, and recovery actions. This information is vital for administrators who need to analyze system performance, identify recurring issues, and implement solutions that enhance system reliability.

SFM utilizes advanced technologies such as predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms. These technologies enable the software to analyze historical data, identify patterns, and predict potential failures. By leveraging these insights, organizations can take preventive measures, reducing the risk of unexpected outages.

The fault management architecture of HP UX SFM is designed to integrate seamlessly with other system management tools. This interoperability ensures that SFM can coexist in a multi-vendor environment, allowing administrators to implement a holistic approach to system management. Additionally, SFM supports various hardware components and can effectively manage complex configurations involving diverse systems.

Another notable characteristic of HP UX SFM is its user-friendly interface, which simplifies monitoring and management tasks for administrators. The interface is designed for ease of use, enabling quick access to critical information and streamlined workflows for diagnosing and resolving system faults.

Moreover, HP UX SFM enhances overall system resilience through its automated recovery capabilities. In the event of a fault detection, the software can initiate predefined recovery actions, which may include isolating faulty components or rebooting affected services. This automation significantly reduces manual intervention, allowing IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine maintenance tasks.

In summary, HP UX System Fault Management Software is an integral part of managing HP-UX systems. Its real-time monitoring, advanced reporting, predictive analytics, and automated recovery features work together to improve system reliability and performance. By adopting SFM, organizations can ensure a more resilient IT infrastructure, resulting in better operational continuity and enhanced productivity.
