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

Pack are installed on a system. A system is returned by this search only if every component in the HP
ProLiant Support Pack is on the list. It is unlikely that all of the components in a HP ProLiant Support
Pack are installed on any system, so use this criterion carefully.
• This criterion retrieves information from the SQL database table that was populated by a Software
Version Status Polling Task. This table is also updated when software is installed through the Update
Software or Firmware HP SIM Task. Therefore, if software was installed or uninstalled on systems without
using HP SIM and after a Software Version Status Polling Task last ran, this search might not return the
correct results.
Cleared state criterion
You can run a search on a certain set of event statuses:
• Any. Includes all events whether they are Cleared, Not Cleared, or In Progress.
• Cleared. Includes events that are cleared.
• Not Cleared. Includes events that are not cleared.
• In Progress. Includes events from tasks which are in the progress,. When the event completes, these
events become Uncleared.
Server role criterion
The Server Role criterion is a system or event collection search that enables you to list the servers of one or
more matching roles. The server role is a user-specified value available on HP Insight Management Agent
5.4 or later. To create the criteria, select server role in the Where dropdown list on the Advanced Search
page, and select the criteria comparison option.
Assignee criterion
You can run a search on certain events that are assigned to a particular user. When you select the assignee
collection criteria, the result is a scrollable list of users of which more than one can be selected.
NOTE: If you do not select a user, an error message displays, stating that there are no assignees for these
events. Add assignees from the event table view page.
Event type criterion
NOTE: Only one event type criteria can be used in a given search.
When using the event type criterion, you must select a comparison criterion such as is or is not. A tree view
of the event types, organized by event category selection, is then displayed. Next, in the type(s) box, which
contains the tree, select a types to search against. You can select an entire category, click to expand the
branch and select individual categories, or click to collapse close the branch. Click Add to add additional
criteria, click View to perform the search immediately, or click Save As to save the search. See “Saving
collections” for more information on using Save As.
NOTE: While you can select a specific version of a trap (for example, Array Accelerator Bad Data (Version.
1), it is better to select both versions because you might have older or newer agents on some managed
systems. Selecting all versions ensures that all agent versions are included in the event collection.
Memory range criterion
You can set the memory ranges for systems that you include in the collection. You can select multiple groups,
one at a time, from the following ranges:
• Memory Equal To (=). Includes systems with memory equal to a specified amount
• Memory Not Equal To (!=). Includes systems with memory not equal to a specified amount
• Memory Less Than (<). Includes systems with less memory than the specified amount
