Fault Management Overview
Fault management and monitoring increases system availability by moving from a reactive fault
detection, diagnosis, and repair strategy to a proactive fault detection, diagnosis, and repair
strategy. Fault management does the following:
•
Detects problems automatically, as near as possible to when they actually occur.
•
Diagnoses problems automatically, at the time of detection.
•
Automatically reports a description of the problem in understandable text. This includes
the likely causes of the problem, the recommended action(s) to resolve the problem, and
detailed information about the problem.
•
Ensures 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 System (EMS). The Event Management
System and WBEM provide frameworks for monitoring and reporting events.
SysFaultMgmt WBEM indication providers and the EMS Hardware Monitors enable you to
monitor the operation of a wide variety of hardware products, and alert you immediately if any
failure or other unusual event occurs. By using hardware event monitoring, you can virtually
eliminate undetected hardware failures that could interrupt system operation or cause data loss.
For complete information on installing and using EMS hardware event monitors, as well as a
list of supported hardware, see the EMS Hardware Monitors Users Guide at
.
