Printing cluster search results
1. After the Search Results appear, click View. The results appear.
2. Click Print.
The results are printed.
Note: The Print dialog box could be hidden. If so, go to the Windows Task Bar to display the box.
Because the following print options are not supported in HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), you
cannot perform the following tasks:
• Change the Orientation to Landscape in the Print dialog box (see “Printing” for a workaround
to this issue)
• Cancel printing after the print job has been executed, but you can access the operating systems
print queue and cancel the print job
• Cancel printing to a file
• Print selected clusters, only the entire search results
• Print the cluster search results if you close the browser immediately after issuing a print request

Deleting cluster search results

along with all of its members, and click Delete.
To delete clusters from a search view:
1. After the search results appear, select clusters to delete from the search, and click Delete. A dialog box
appears, stating, Are you sure you want to delete these systems?
2. Click OK to delete the systems, or click Cancel to return to the Search Results page without deleting
the clusters.

Search criteria
You can select from many criteria when you create a collection. Although the task you run is associated with
one collection, one collection can include numerous conditions.
You can also exclude criteria. For example, including all systems of the type server and excluding all systems
of a certain processor type provides a more distinct subset of the servers on the network. This filtering is
done by selecting is or is not comparison selections.
The more commonly used criteria include system type , IP address, product name, and hardware status. Less
frequently used criteria include event category selection (trap categories), processor, management protocol,
