system health
status
This is aggregate status all of the status sources (which can be SNMP, WBEM, and HTTP) that
are supported on a target system, with the most critical status being displayed. The following are
the different system health statuses that can be displayed:
• Critical HP SIM can no longer communicate with the system. The system was previously
discovered but cannot be pinged. The system might be down, powered off, or no longer
accessible on the network because of network problems.
• Major A major problem exists with this system. It should be addressed immediately. For
systems running an HP Insight Management Agents, some component has failed. The system
might no longer be properly functioning, and data loss can occur.
• Minor A minor problem exists with this system. For systems running Insight Management
Agents, some component has failed but the system is still functioning.
• Warning The system has a potential problem or is in a state that might become a problem.
• Normal The system is functioning correctly.
• Disabled The system is disabled from monitoring but is not necessarily turned off.
• Unknown HP SIM cannot obtain management information about the system.
