Managing system types

The

STM

is a utility that modifies the default behavior of

identification

. STM enables you to customize the

type and product name of third-party systems using rules based on responses to

SNMP

and DMI (Windows

only) lists from systems on your network.

IMPORTANT: For most HP

systems

, the

system type

and product name cannot be modified. Identification

can be customized based on SNMP System OIDs for all other fields. Manufacturers assign unique system

OIDs to their SNMP-instrumented products. STM enables you to customize identification by creating rules

that map these system OIDs to product categories and names. You must have

administrative rights

to use

STM.
