Configuring asset polling

Asset polling allows you set the length of time between state change polling. To maximize the
efficiency of the polling feature (balance the amount of possible information with any possible
performance impact), base your settings on the size of the SAN.

To configure asset polling, complete the following steps.

1. Select Server > Options.

The Options dialog box displays.

2. Select Memory Allocation in the Category list to set the memory allocation for the server and

client.

The Memory Allocation pane displays.

3. Enter how often you want to check for state changes in the Check for state change every field.

Valid values are from 1 through 600 seconds. You cannot enter a value lower than the default
minimum value.

Default minimum values are as follows:

Small (Professional): 60 seconds

Medium: 120 seconds

Large: 180 seconds
