System Name

column produces a list of all discovered systems in the selected enclosure. The status

for both racks and enclosures is always Unknown.

When a server blade is identified through another system in the same rack or enclosure, associations
are made between the iLO and the enclosures in which they reside. This association appears in the
System Name

column on the system table view page by showing the system serial number prepended

with

Server_ in Encl. enclosure_name. For example, Server_C349KJP5D876 in Encl. Encl4. The system

address, product name, and operating system are not displayed for these systems.

You can launch HP Serviceguard Manager to manage a server belonging to an HP Serviceguard cluster.
To do so, ensure that:

HP Serviceguard Manager is installed and registered with HP SIM

The system selected is an HP-UX or Linux server that belongs to an HP Serviceguard cluster

System Type

This column displays the system type, for example, Server, or Desktop. The system type Unmanaged indicates
systems that have no management protocol that HP SIM could detect, for example, no

SNMP

,

Web-Based

Enterprise Management (WBEM)

,

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

, or

Secure Shell (SSH)

. The system

type Unknown indicates systems that have some management protocol but have not matched any identification
rule in HP SIM. See

“System types”

for more information on the different system types.

NOTE:

Unmanaged systems might indicate that the credentials were not set correctly to communicate with

the system. If you know that there are HP Insight Management Agents installed, verify the credentials used.

System Address

This column displays the primary IP address of the system that HP SIM uses to communicate with the system.
Not all systems have an IP address, including HP Serviceguard clusters.

Product Name

This column displays the product name of the system.

Operating system name

The OS Name column displays the operating system on the system. For a Serviceguard cluster, this column
displays HP Serviceguard if the cluster is of type HP-UX or HP Serviceguard for Linux if the cluster is of
type Linux. HP Serviceguard and HP Serviceguard for Linux under the OS Name column of the

virtual

cluster system column do not represent the actual operating system name and type. This field is used to let
you know the servers that comprise the cluster are of HP-UX or Linux type, respectively.

System table view page buttons

Three buttons at the bottom of the system table view page are available to users with

full configuration rights

.

These buttons are not available when using a tool and selecting an individual target system.

Save As Collection

. When a system is highlighted, this button is used to save the selection with a

new name. Changes are saved on a per-user basis. If you click Save As Collection, the collection is
saved as a combination of the system and event collections. See

“Saving collections”

for more

information.

Delete

. This button is used to delete one or more systems from the

database

. Select the systems to be

deleted, and click Delete. A dialog box appears. Click OK to continue with the deletion, or click
Cancel

to cancel the operation. See

“Deleting systems from the HP SIM database”

for more information.

NOTE:

If a virtual machine host is deleted, it can still be accessed through the Virtual Machine

Management Pack console, and the operations that can be performed on a virtual machine host are
