Viewing vulnerability scan results
The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack scan results can be viewed either for a specified
vulnerability scan or for an individual system. When a vulnerability scan is run for a group of target
systems, results are generated for the group as well as for each individual system. Vulnerability scan
results can be viewed as .pdf files in the following formats:
• Executive Summary—A high-level summary of all vulnerabilities found in a scan
• Detailed Listing—A list of vulnerabilities found on each system, as well as a description and risk
evaluation of each
• Simple Listing—A list of vulnerabilities found on each system sorted by vulnerability name
• Scan Summary—A list of scans performed and vulnerabilities found, sorted by system name
• Ports and Services—A list of ports, services, and unknown services, sorted by system name
Vulnerability scan results guidelines
• Vulnerability scan results cannot be viewed or deleted while status displays

• If the vulnerability scan results display the message,
No file access
, verify that the WBEM
settings in HP SIM have appropriate credentials listed for the target systems. For additional
information, see the “ Post-installation configuration ” section.
• Scan results can also be accessed from the links in the completed scan event in HP SIM.
• Vulnerabilities listed are the total vulnerabilities found in the group of systems scanned.
Individual systems in the group might not have every vulnerability listed.
