13.2 Populating a collection
An Insight Control for Linux collection is populated with objects automatically or manually.
• Automatic population of a collection occurs when you run the
Options→IC-Linux→Configure Management Services menu item to start monitoring
services and enter yes in response to the Auto-populate {collection_name}_Servers with
all licensed servers? option.
The following objects are added to the collection:
— All licensed servers are added to the {collection_name}_Servers subcollection.
— All enclosures associated with each licensed system are added to the
{collection_name}_Enclosures subcollection.
— All management processors associated with licensed servers are added to the
{collection_name}_Console_Ports subcollection.
• Manual population of a collection occurs when you use the Customize... link in the left
pane of HP SIM to add or remove objects to the Insight Control for Linux
{collection_name}_Servers or {collection_name}_Switches subcollections.
Section 13.3 (page 148) and Section 13.4 (page 149) describe how to add and remove managed
objects (servers and switches) in an Insight Control for Linux collection.
IMPORTANT: Any time you use the Customize... option in HP SIM to edit the managed
objects in an Insight Control for Linux collection, you must run the
Options→IC-Linux→Configure Management Services option to reconfigure the Insight
Control for Linux management services.
