Title: FCNativeIndicationProviderModule: Events are not saved to evweb at random Severity: Serious Problem and details: In the previous release on BL870c i2 platform, when cimserver/ HPUXFCNativeIndicationProviderModule is restarted, the Indication Identifier index is reset. If the evweb current database already has events with the same event number or Indication Identifier index, such duplicate events are not logged in the evweb database. When events with the same event IDs are reported frequently, the events will be logged in the /var/opt/sfm/log/event.log file and the syslog file. In the current release on BL870c i2 platform, when the cimserver/ HPUXFCNativeIndicationProviderModule is restarted, the Indication Identifier is concatenated with a timestamp along with the event number and Index. With this modification, the Indication Identifier can never be duplicated and all the event IDs generated by the provider are unique and gets logged in the evweb database. Resolution: This issue is fixed in this release.

Known problems, issues, limitations, and workaround This section explains in detail, various problems, issues, limitations, and their workarounds for HP-UX WBEM FC (Fibre-Channel) Provider across many releases.
Known problems The following known issues are tabulated from multiple releases. •
Problem and details: After installing HP-UX 11i v3 B.11.31.1705 (May 2017 OEUR) from the DVD Media, the WBEMP-FCP.FCP-RUN file set configuration may occasionally fail with below error due to timeouts. When configuration fails, the FC provider will not be configured after installation and the provider status of the HPUXFCProviderModule will not be ‘OK’.

If reconfiguring fails, then reinstall the FC provider product from WBEM Management Megabundle. HPUXFCDIndicationProvider may report event 61 and 62 with missing component data as the data is temporarily not available during event generation. Problem and details: After the installation of FC (Fibre-Channel) Provider, couple of initial events are not generated.Workaround:After installation run /opt/fcprovider/bin/FC_Provider_Test -a twice. Problem and details: When FC (Fibre-Channel) Provider B.11.31.1103.14 or later is installed on legacy Integrity systems, dm_ql_adapter and dm_fclp_adapter are never launched regardless of the diagnostics mode. HPUXFCNativeIndicationProvider always monitors natively the hardware and generates WBEM events. The reverse wrapper, FC_Wbemwrapper, may be launched depending on the connected hardware. This reverse wrapper converts the WBEM event to the corresponding EMS event.Description:The introduction of this native support adds to support the following EMS resource paths: /adapters/events/ql_wrapper_wbem/adapters/events/fclp_wrapper_wbem On the other hand, as the process for dm_ql_adapter and dm_fclp_adapter are never launched, the corresponding EMS resource paths are not monitored: /adapters/events/ql_adapter /adapters/ events/fclp_adapter The FC Indication provider crashes while upgrading from versions earlier than the March 2012 release. This problem does not occur while upgrading from March 2012 release to any later releases. Problem and details: The events are lost when diagnostic products are upgraded on a DRD cloned disk.Description:Prior to September 2012 release version of diagnostics product, the postgres 7.4.2 version was supported. However version 8.4.8 is shipped from September 2012 release. Due to the missing data compatibility between PostgreSQL version 7.4.2 (prior to September 2012) and 8.4.8 (September 2012 release or later) when diagnostics products are upgraded from prior to September 2012 release to September 2012 web release and later, the postgres data need to be migrated to 8.4.8 format. Data migration involves backup in 7.4.2 version using the pg_dumpall and restore in 8.4.8 version using the psql operations. Both of these operations requires a running postgres service. But in the DRD environment there is a limitation that no service can be run on the cloned disk when products are either installed or upgraded. This limits diagnostics product upgrade steps from taking the backup of the postgres 7.4.2 data. As a result, the data such as events and error records is lost during such circumstances.Workaround:You can select any of the following two alternatives: 1. To install the product on the DRD cloned disk as a normal upgrade scenario. The scenario will be same as fresh installation and user may refer to event.log for historical event data. 2. To have a seamless migration of the data from postgres 7.4.2 version. In this case, the user is required to perform the manual steps listed in the Installation scenarios of Postgres 8.4.8 guide at http:// www.hpe.com/info/hpux-diagnostics-sfm-docs.
Limitation Following is the limitation of FC (Fibre-Channel) Provider: •
36
It is a read-only provider and hence does not allow users to modify, create, or delete instances.
