information.
• OS vendor . The operating system vendor.
• Protocols . The management protocols supported by the managed system, with the revision
level of each protocol.
• GUID . A unique identifier assigned to a system in the database
• Hardware device ID . A unique identifier assigned to the hardware-specific portion of a
system in the database.
• Device type . The major type of the device.
• Device subtype . The subtype of the device within the major type.
• Model . The device model.
• Added By . The login of the user who added the system.

switches, this value is the same as the switch serial number from the SNMP agent.
• UniqueIdentifier . The unique identifier value of the system from the WBEM provider.
For standalone servers, this value is the unique identifier property from the ComputerSystem
provider as defined as the unique identifier of the machine. For partition systems, this value
is constructed from both the unique identifier of the machine plus the partition id from the
npartition provider. For HP Integrity Virtual Machines, the value is constructed from the unique
identifier of the virtual partition server (vParMonitor) plus the virtual partition name.

overwritten by the Discovery and Identification processes.
These attributes can be modified in the Edit System Properties page of the Systems Insight
