System
Management
Homepage (SMH) An integrated piece of software used by the HP suite of HP Web-enabled System Management
Software to communicate over HTTP and HTTPS. It provides a uniform set of functionality and
security to HP Web-enabled System Management Software.
system overview
report A report indicating the state of systems that is available at the time that HP SIM is first opened.
A system search result contains the number of systems that are registered with the HP SIM
databases. Systems are grouped by their status conditions. Each number in a column is a hyperlink
to a more detailed list of systems, which displays the systems that correspond to the number in
the overview.
system properties properties can be set for a single system or for multiple systems at the same time and include
options such as system name, system type, system sub-type, operating system version, asset
number, contact information, and whether or not the system properties can be changed or updated
by the discovery process.
system search Logical grouping of systems into a collection based on information in the HP SIM database. After
a search is defined, you can display the results from the system view page or associate it with a
management task.
system search
results The result of a system search.
system status
panel The section of the GUI on the left of the screen that displays status information and system or
event alarms.
system type One of 12 supplied types. You can add your own based on one of these types. For example,
use Server type to create MyServer type. It is still a server and is reported on in the same way,
but it has your designation.
System Type
Manager (STM) A utility that enables you to modify the default behavior of the discovery and identification of
objects classified as Unknown or as another category of systems are discovered and identified
precisely as you require. HP SIM discovers and identifies the system and applies the new
information when an Unknown system matches a rule set that you specify as the primary rule set.
Furthermore, creating the new system type provides a System Link page for viewing the
information returned from the system agent or from the communication protocol of SNMP or DMI.
T
task An executed instance of an HP SIM tool, on one or more systems, with a specific set of arguments.
task scheduling A master scheduling tool for the scheduling of polling, control, and notification tasks.
template files Template files are a concept that was used before HP SIM had multiple automatic discovery tasks.
Template files should no longer be used. However, a template file enables you to create the same
data range (IP ranges, and so on) that would be entered in a discover IP inclusion range. The
automatic discovery task can have as input one or more template files. However, template files
cannot be nested.
threshold A preset limit that produces an event when the limit is reached or exceeded.
