system overview
report
A report indicating the state of systems that is available at the time that HP Systems Insight Manager
is first opened. A system search result contains the number of systems that are registered with the
HP Systems Insight Manager databases. Systems are grouped by their status conditions. Each
number in a column is a hyperlink to a more detailed list of systems, which displays the systems
that correspond to the number in the overview.
system properties properties can be set for a single system or for multiple systems at the same time and include
options such as system name, system type, system sub-type, operating system version, asset
number, contact information, and whether or not the system properties can be changed or updated
by the discovery process.
system search Logical grouping of systems into a collection based on information in the HP Systems Insight
Manager database. After a search is defined, you can display the results from the system view

panel
The section of the GUI on the left of the screen that displays status information and system or
event alarms.
system type One of 12 supplied types. You can add your own based on one of these types. For example,
use Server type to create MyServer type. It is still a server and is reported on in the same way,
but it has your designation.
System Type
Manager
A utility that enables users to set certain attributes for those systems that are discovered as Unknown
by SIM. Using this utility, user can configure SNMP rules based on system object identifier and
set system type, subtype and user defined model based on the response from SNMP. HP Systems
Insight Manager discovers and identifies the system and applies the new information when an
Unknown system matches a rule set that you specify as the primary rule set. Furthermore, creating
the new system type provides a System Link page for viewing the information returned from the
system agent or from the communication protocol of SNMP.
