The communication status between the CMS and the targeted systems appears in the table. Place
your mouse over a status icon to display available information explaining the status. If you click
the status icon, the Advise and Repair section appears with the corresponding tab open. For
example, if you click a status icon in the Run Tools column, the Run Tools tab opens in the Advise
and Repair section instead of the default Identification tab.
System Name
This column contains the actual system name of selected systems. When you place the cursor over
the system name, the FQDN appears, which helps differentiate between two or more systems that
share the same system name.
Identification
The Identification column includes status information on the state of an identification process.
Identification attempts to determine the system type, the management protocols a system supports
using the configured credentials, and the operating system and version loaded, and other basic
system attributes.
The Identification column also indicates if the system is associated with another system. The status
in this column is a roll-up of the status of all available protocols. The statuses are analyzed based
on the status itself, the system type, the system operating system, and instrumentation options. Status
icons do not appear for systems that cannot have a status, such as, complexes, enclosures, and
racks. The identification status updates each time an identification task runs.
Events
The Events column indicates if the CMS can receive events from the target systems. This status
reflects the sending of SNMP traps and WBEM indications.
Run Tools
The Run Tools column indicates if the CMS can run tools locally on target systems, such as HP
System Management Homepage. Communication issues in this column usually relate to security
and trust relationships.
Version Control
The Version Control column indicates the availability of the software and firmware inventory data
for target systems. The status is collected and stored during data collection. This is only valid for
Windows systems with a version control agent installed.
System Type
The System Type column displays the system type, for example, Server or Desktop.
