HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

Two default collections are related to racks and enclosures and are listed under the System Type collection:
• All Racks
• All Enclosures
On the system table view page, racks are displayed in the following formats:
• Encl1 in Rack1
• Rack1
The Picture View page can be displayed by clicking a rack hyperlink on the system table view page or
from the System and Event Collections panel.
Clicking an enclosure name in the System Name column on the system table view page produces a list of
all discovered systems in the selected enclosure. The status for both racks and enclosures is always Unknown.
The Picture View page contains a diagram of the discovered systems in the enclosure and, if available, in
the rack. While signed-in to HP SIM, if you place your cursor over a server shown in the view, you receive
information about that particular server, including server blade name, slot number, and the enclosure in
which the server is located.
