HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Command Line Interface Guide

• Preferred Node Name . An alternate system/node name of your choosing which can
make it easier for you to identify, find, or organize systems/nodes in the database.
• System Description . A description of the system.
• Serial Number . The serial number of the system.
• Asset Number . The asset number of the system.
• OS Description . The description of the system's operating system.
• Contact . The person to contact if system maintenance is needed.
• Location . The physical location of the system.
• AgentUUID . The unique identifier value from the SNMP agent installed on the system. On
ProLiant servers, this is the cpqHoGUID MIB value from the ProLiant Insight Agent. For certain
switches, this value is the same as the switch serial number from the SNMP agent.
• UniqueIdentifier . The unique identifier value of the system from the WBEM provider.
For standalone servers, this value is the unique identifier property from the ComputerSystem
provider as defined as the unique identifier of the machine. For partition systems, this value
is constructed from both the unique identifier of the machine plus the partition id from the
npartition provider. For HP Integrity Virtual Machines, the value is constructed from the unique
identifier of the virtual partition server (vParMonitor) plus the virtual partition name.
System attributes that can be locked
The following is the complete list of system attributes that can be modified and locked with the
mxnode -m -f filename command. Locking an attribute prevents that attribute from being
overwritten by the Discovery and Identification processes.
These attributes can be modified in the Edit System Properties page of the HP SIM GUI. However,
there are some differences in the wording between the attribute name as required in the XML file,
and the attribute label displayed in the GUI. The following list can be used as a cross reference:
