HP SIM V5.1 User Guide (356920-009, January 2007)

and memory range. Event collections include both system criteria and event criteria. Event criteria do not
apply to system collections.
When you select multiple criteria, the system must meet all criteria for the system to be included in the
collection. For example, if you select systems within a specified IP range and with more than 32 MB of RAM,
the collection does not return a system in the specified IP range if the system has less than 32 MB of RAM.
Complex collections with many individual system selections or with many different selection criteria take
more system resources to execute. If a task is associated with a collection, keep the collection as simple as
possible to minimize the performance impacts.
