HP Insight Control - Manual (Page 24)

Using the software 24
Node View, you can expand the nodes to display lower-level objects and drill down to view HP Insight
Manager MIB icons at the system variable level.
The Unicenter Node View window displays various status levels of HP hardware subsystems using color-
coded icons.
Overall status policy
The Insight Integration includes an additional set of policy files that provide a high-level view of HP
hardware subsystem status. The overall status policy files are not installed by default but are provided as
a user option. These policies can limit the amount of polling traffic generated in the DSM for HP devices.
The hpqnsm\policy\overall directory contains policy files for Unicenter r11 that monitor the overall status
of each HP hardware subsystem.
Each HP ProLiant MIB contains a variable that represents the overall status of the entire MIB. The overall
policy files monitor this variable. Instances under the various subsystems are not enumerated. For
example, these policies monitor the overall drive array status, but not the individual logical and physical
drives.
The status of HP hardware is monitored, but the information given in the policy files is not as detailed. For
detailed information, view a device through the HP web-based Management Agents or HP Systems Insight
Manager.
NOTE: The overall status policy for Unicenter has been updated to minimize the number of
items monitored on each system. The monitored items have been updated with new names
beginning with the string "HP_".
