Hardware Status Polling for Non Servers

This task collects status information through management protocols (SNMP, WBEM, and so on) for systems

that are not Server, Cluster, or Management Processor type. By default, this task polls every 10 minutes and

at start-up.

NOTE: If you discover more than 500 systems, HP suggests you change the interval to something greater

than 10 minutes (for example, 15 minutes for every 1000 systems).

Hardware Status Polling for Servers

This task collects status information for SNMP, DMI, or WBEM systems that are Server, Cluster, or Management

Processor types. By default, this task polls every 5 minutes and at start-up.

NOTE: If you discover more than 500 systems, HP suggests you change the interval to something greater

than 5 minutes (for example, 10 minutes for every 1,000 systems).

Hardware Status Polling for Systems No Longer Disabled

This task runs when a system goes from a disabled state to an enabled state. You could use this task to get

the latest status after a planned maintenance window on a system that was set to disabled.

Initial Data Collection

This task collects

static

information from a number of systems that have WBEM, DMI, or SNMP running (for

example, serial numbers and model numbers). For more information about the type of data collected, see

“Reference information”.

Initial Hardware Status Polling

This task runs hardware status polling on systems that are newly discovered. Therefore, you do not need to

wait for the periodic tasks to run before the system has a valid status.

Software Version Status Polling

This task determines software version update status and is set to run every seven days by default at midnight.

You can edit this task or manually run it at any time.

For more information about the type of data collected, see “Software status polling”.

Software Version Status Polling for Systems no Longer Disabled

This task runs the software version tool when a system changes from a disabled state to an enabled state so

that the status of the software loaded on the system is kept current in HP SIM.

For more information about the type of data collected, see “Software status polling”.
