Instruction Manual

NOTE: If you receive an incorrect response for a particular HP brand system after clicking the CW icon
on the system table view page, there might be an entitlement issue with the system. This is not a Remote
Support or an HP SIM issue. Please contact HP support. You must have a valid serial number and product
ID along with any contract or Care Pack numbers that are applicable.
Aggregate Event status
The ES column is a summary of all of a system's uncleared events. This status is updated whenever an event
is added, updated, or removed. To view all of the events for a system, including cleared events, click its ES
status icon.
System Name
This column contains the actual system name of all discovered systems. Systems can be shown as a single
system or as a system in a container. When you place the cursor over the system name, the full system
Domain Name Service (DNS) name is shown, which helps differentiate between two or more systems that
share the same system name. If you click the system name link, the System Page appears. See “System
Page” for more information. If you click a system that is a container (rack or enclosure), the picture view for
that object displays. See “Navigating the picture view page” for more information.
The System Name column displays systems along with its associated devices. The following list shows the
associations available in HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM):
• Management processor to server
• Management processor to server for nPar
• Management processor to complex
After upgrading HP SIM, to have this association display, you must rediscover the complex if you have
appropriate XML, WBEM, and SNMP instrumentation on management processor and partition-able
cells.
Note: For a high-end Superdome, rerunning discovery will work only if you have an sx2000 Superdome
and have the latest firmware. For mid-range servers, you must have either sx1000 or sx2000 servers
and the latest firmware.
• Management processor to enclosure
• Server to enclosure
• Enclosure to rack
• Switch to enclosure
• System to cluster
The following system types are containers:
• Rack
• Enclosure
• Cluster
When servers and management processors in racks and enclosures are discovered and identified , associations
are made between the systems and the racks and enclosures in which the systems reside. This association
displays in the System Name column on the system table view page by showing name in system type
container name . The following are examples of different associations available:
• When switches in blade enclosures are discovered and identified, associations are made between the
switches and the enclosures in which they reside. This association appears in the System Name column
on the system table view page by showing switch_name in Encl. enclosure_name . The System Type
column displays Switch as the system type. For HP SIM to identify and manage the HP ProLiant p-Class
server blades correctly, the HP Insight Management Agent 5.50 or later must be installed on the blades
to make associations work and event correlation function properly. Clicking an enclosure name in the
