Keep in mind the following:

If Discovery Data Collection is occurring, wait for it to finish before clicking Refresh Now. This

technique ensures the database is completely updated and thus your reports will be as accurate

as possible. Discovery Data Collection collects the latest data. When you refresh the report

cache, the management server transfers the information collected from Discovery Data

Collection and transfers it to the report cache.

While the report cache is being refreshed, reports display no data.

Refreshing the Report Cache Immediately

To refresh the report cache now:

1.

Select Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration in HP Systems Insight Manager.

2.

Click the Report Cache tab at the top of the screen.

3.

Click Refresh Now.

Scheduling a Report Cache Refresh

When you schedule the refreshing of the report cache, keep in mind that the higher the frequency of

the report cache interval, the more stress you put on the management server. A very frequent report

cache interval, such as every 10 minutes, could hurt the response time of the management server to

perform other tasks.
If you find you are still viewing old information regarding elements on the network, you may need to

perform Discovery Data Collection. It is best to perform Discovery Data Collection at regular

intervals. See

Adding a Discovery Schedule

” on page 182.

To schedule a report cache refresh:

1.

Select Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration in HP Systems Insight Manager.

2.

Click the Report Cache tab at the top of the screen.

3.

Set the date, time, and repeat interval for this task. For more information, see ”

Setting the Date

and Time for Scheduled Tasks

” on page 181.

Click the Enable option.

5.

Click Save Changes.

Setting Up Global Reporter

IMPORTANT:

Depending on your license, Global Reporter may not be available. See the List of

Features to determine if you have access to Global Reporter. The List of Features is accessible from

the Documentation Center.

Global Reporter lets you gather data for global reports from multiple management servers. For

example, lets assume you have three management servers: one in London, one in Tokyo, and one in

New York City. You are located in New York City and you want to obtain data in your global

reports from the management servers in London and Tokyo, as well as from your own management

server in New York City. Through the use of Global Reporter, you can gather data from all three

sites.
