17.2 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 ser vers? 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 17.3 (page 158) and Section 17.4 (page 160) 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

Control for Linux management services.
