Fault Management Overview

The goal of fault management and monitoring is to increase server availability, by
moving from a reactive fault detection, diagnosis, and repair strategy to a proactive
fault detection, diagnosis, and repair strategy. The objectives include:
To detect problems automatically, as close as possible to the time of occurrence.
To diagnose problems automatically, at the time of detection.
To automatically report (in understandable text) a description of the problem, the
likely causes of the problem, the recommended actions to resolve the problem,
and detailed information about the problem.
To ensure that tools are available to repair or recover from the fault.

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).
EMS 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 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 website
info/hpux-diagnostics-docs.
