Central Management Server

Resource-intensive applications such as HP Insight Control performance management have sometimes
encountered problems working with large numbers of systems. In an effort to improve the stability
of the CMS, Systems Insight Manager now imposes a limit of 2000 systems on the information
that is provided to these applications. This limit can be changed, if necessary, by adding a new
property named MaxNodesViaSOAP to globalsettings.props and setting it to the desired
number of systems. Setting MaxNodesViaSOAP to a negative number disables the limit checking.
In some cases, setting this limit to a number greater than 2,000, or disabling the limit, can results
in errors, including the possibility of Systems Insight Manager hanging or crashing.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When you cannot access Systems Insight Manager on a Windows system using a full DNS host
name, your Windows DNS; configuration is not set properly.
Solution: There are several reasons and workarounds for this:

1.

On the CMS, open the Control Panel, and select Network Connections

2.

3.

Be sure that DNS suffix for this connection contains the full DNS suffix for the system.

4.

Be sure both the Register this connection's address in DNS and the Use this connection's
DNS suffix in DNS registration checkboxes are selected.

The System name for the CMS is not configured properly.
HP recommends the following workaround:
1.

On the CMS, open the Control Panel and select System.

2.
