This View as dropdown list is used to select either table, which displays the system results in a table form,
icons, which displays only the HS status icon and the System Name for each system, and tree, which
displays the HS status icon and the System Name for each system in a tree format. See “Navigating the tree
view page” for more detailed information about the tree view. See “Navigating the icon view page” for
more information about the icon view.
System health status summary
The summary shows how many systems in the view have a status of: Critical, Major, Minor, Normal, Disabled,
and Unknown. See “System status types” for more information.
Table information
To access a systems view or picture view of a system, click a link in the System Name column. Typically,
the System Page is displayed when a system is clicked. However, Racks link to the rack picture view page,
and enclosures link to the enclosure picture view page. These links are both types of container views. See
System Name for more information.
System view columns
Sort columns by clicking the column header to switch between ascending and descending order. The column
that the table is sorted by includes an up or down arrow in the column heading. Place your cursor over a
column name to display a brief description of the column. The columns are not available when you select
the icons, picture, or tree views. The following are the columns located on the system table view page:
• Selection

Selection
Select the checkbox in this column to select a system. You can select more than one system. This option is
available in the table view, tree view, and icon view. Select the checkbox in the column heading or select
Select "collection name" itself to select or deselect all displayed systems.
Health status
The HS column displays the overall system health status, which is determined by the default Hardware Status
Polling task and is a roll up of all the status sources, which can be SNMP, WBEM, DMI, HTTP, and cluster
status. By clicking the status icon in this column, the HP Management Agents or the HP Instant Toptools
for Servers page is displayed. If the system does not have Web Agents or Instant Toptools installed, the
System Page is displayed. See “System status types” for more information.
The hardware status that is displayed for container systems, such as Serviceguard or a complex, is the actual
hardware status for the container itself. For clusters, the hardware status is the ping status.
