3.3 Reclassify HP Devices
HP Toptools for Unicenter adds processes to complement the native Unicenter discovery service.
The platform bridge discovery program attempts to classify all devices in the Unicenter repository by doing
extended SNMP, DMI, and WMI discovery on those devices. For each HP device discovered, the icon on the
Unicenter map is changed and additional functionality is enabled via the Toptools menu in Unicenter. The
discovery process is not instantaneous; extended DMI, WMI, and SNMP requests can take some time. A file,
Repository Data to Toptools.log, can be generated to monitor the status of the reclassification. For instructions on
enabling logging read the section “Useful Log Files”.
Each time the “HP Reclass Service” service is restarted using the Windows NT Service manager, all objects in the
Repository are transferred to the HP Toptools Server. Note that a new reclassification (HP discovery) is not started
as a result of this action. To start a new reclassification, the menu item
Start->Programs->Unicenter WorldView-
>Reclassify HP Devices
must be selected. This is automatically launched following Unicenter’s Autodiscovery.
The following panel is displayed:
For more information on the discovery process, refer to the Theory of Operation section of this Guide.
3.4 Verifying a Successful Installation
There are a few ways to check that the platform bridge has installed successfully.
• Launch the Unicenter Class Browser. New classes should be placed in the hierarchy as appropriate.
