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.
