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

The following are error messages that might be displayed:

• HP Systems Insight Manager is not configured to display any status.

To resolve this issue, close the window, customize the display of the System Status panel, and

re-launch.

• This window does not have a connection with the main HP Systems Insight

Manager window.

To resolve this issue, close the window.

NOTE: The status panel pop-up window might not be displayed if you have a pop-up blocker configured

and running on your system. You must disable the pop-up blocker or configure it to allow the HP SIM

application to use pop-up windows.

NOTE: If HP SIM is configured to enable session timeout, the status pop-up window will no longer display

status when the session expires.

Utilizing RSS capabilities

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a data format based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML) that can be

used by applications and websites to provide content to other applications. HP SIM uses RSS to publish

System Status panel information that can be viewed in newsfeed programs.

RSS capabilities can be enabled in HP SIM by changing the

rssFeedEnabled

property in the

globalsettings.props. By changing this value, you can view the System Status panel information

in newsreaders and applications. Perform the following to enable RSS:

1. Stop the HP SIM service.

2. In the globalsettings.props file, set the

rssFeedEnabled

property to True. The file is located at:

• On Windows It is typically located at C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight

Manager\config\globalsettings.props.

• On HP-UX and Linux It is located at /etc/opt/mx/config/globalsettings.props.

3. Restart the HP SIM service.

4. Browse to

http://

server_name:280

/RSS

to view the XML output for the current HP SIM status values.

The URL in step 3 can be used in RSS readers to view the same data.
