HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 78)

On the Customize Collections page, some collections show their contents and others do not. For
example, in the above image, All Systems, HP BladeSystems, and Storage Systems are not collections
by member because the expansion icon ( ) is located beside the collection name, and when you
click the icon, the contents of the collection are displayed.
Because collections by attribute are dynamic, determining their content and displaying it in this
interface would be very time consuming. Therefore, their content is not displayed and you cannot
set properties on members of these collections. Setting properties on systems that might not be part
of the collection in the future would be of very limited value.

Edit
Any collection can be edited. However, collections cannot change type. For example, you
can change the criteria for a collection that is defined by attribute, but you cannot change the
collection type so the collection is a collection by member or a combination collection.
•
Copy
Copy enables you to copy a collection from one place in the collection hierarchy to another.
It is important to note that what is copied is independent of the original collection; any
collections that are within the copied collection are themselves copied by reference.
For example, consider the following hierarchy (contents of the collections not relevant to the
example are not shown):
