HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 244)

storage systems SAN-attached Fibre Channel disk arrays, switches, tape libraries, or hosts (with Fibre Channel
host bus adapters).
subnet On TCP/IP networks, subnets are all systems whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For
example, all systems with IP addresses that start with 10.10.10. would be part of the same subnet.
system Systems on the network that communicate through TCP/IP. To manage a system, some type of
management protocol (for example, SNMP, or WBEM) must be present on the system. Examples
of systems include servers, workstations, desktops, portables, routers, switches, hubs, and
gateways.
system group A group of systems based on a system collection; a static snapshot of the source collection at the
time the system group was created. Used for authorizations.
system health
status This is aggregate status all of the status sources (which can be SNMP, WBEM, and HTTP) that
are supported on a target system, with the most critical status being displayed. The following are
the different system health statuses that can be displayed:
•
Critical
HP SIM can no longer communicate with the system. The system was previously discovered
but cannot be pinged. The system might be down, powered off, or no longer accessible on
the network because of network problems.
•
Major
A major problem exists with this system. It should be addressed immediately. For systems
running an Insight Management Agent, some component has failed. The system might no
longer be properly functioning, and data loss can occur.
•
Minor
A minor problem exists with this system. For systems running Insight Management Agent,
some component has failed but the system is still functioning.
•
Warning
The system has a potential problem or is in a state that might become a problem.
•
Normal
The system is functioning correctly.
•
Disabled
The system is disabled from monitoring but is not necessarily turned off.
•
Unknown
HP SIM cannot obtain management information about the system.
•
Informational
The system might be in a transitional or non-error state.
system
identification Identifying information about systems. This information is stored in the database. The following
information is identified:
•
Type of management protocol on the system (SNMP, WBEM, HTTP, and SSH)
•
Type of HP system (server, client, switch, router, and so on)
•
Network name of system
System
Management
Homepage 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 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.
