HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 58)

Systems Insight Manager provides system-delivered (default) tasks. These tasks can be disabled or have their
schedules modified but they cannot be removed or reassigned to another user. Systems Insight Manager
requires these tasks (for example, Data Collection) to provide a complete picture of the systems being
monitored.
Viewing results
After a task runs, you can view the task results by selecting Tasks & Logs
→View Task Results. The Task
Results page appears and includes a table displaying all tasks that are complete or currently running. The
table includes information on the launching task, the tool used, status of the task, who ran the task, and the
start and end time of the task.
Example - Device ping
Use the Ping tool to ping an individual system or multiple systems. To ping systems, select Diagnose
→Ping.
The Ping window appears. Select the target systems and click Run Now to run the task.
If a system does not resolve to an IP address, the request cannot be performed. For systems with multiple IP
addresses, the result of each IP address occupies one row in the result page. The status on the upper-right
corner is: Pinging selected systems. After all the systems on the list are pinged, the status is: Ping
completed
with a time stamp of the completion time.
The ping results appear in a separate window. You might receive the following replies:
•
Replied . The request has been executed successfully, and the pinged system has responded.
•
Request timed out . The request has been executed, but the pinged system failed to respond.
•
System has no IP address . There is no IP address associated with the system. Unable to perform
ping.
•
No system is selected . No system is selected.
If the ping is successful, there is no retry. You can retry only when the ping fails. The ping results have no
effect on the system status on the Task Results or system view pages.
