You can monitor the Hardware Management Consoles (HMC) at your site through the CA Automation Point Hardware Automation Facility (HAF) feature. HAF extends CA Automation Point use of the HMC, moving in step with the IBM vision for the future of systems consoles. HAF collects all event and status, hardware-related messages sent to an IBM or Amdahl (Fujitsu IT Holdings) HMC from a CMOS processor.
Even though the HMC is intended to provide an easy-to-use GUI interface, an operator must still drive the process. HAF actively monitors the HMC at your site, and you can use an asynchronous/memory session to view the messages that CA Automation Point receives. In addition to monitoring these messages from the HMC, you can write rules against these messages and use a REXX program distributed with CA Automation Point to direct your HMC to take actions.
HAF is easily configurable, using the same Configuration Manager GUI available for configuration of other CA Automation Point interfaces.
The following is an illustration of a HAF window collecting consolidated hardware messages from your HMCs.
