queries or secondary network communication might take a few seconds to respond. The following
situations might result in particularly slow response times:
•
Viewing large collections of systems or events.
•
Specific or custom database queries taking an unexpectedly long time.
•
Many users simultaneously accessing a shared resource, such as the database.
•
Pages (for example, System Properties) that retrieve data using WBEM or SNMP and display
the results, especially when the requests are destined to time out.
Solution: The maximum number of server connections can be increased in both Internet Explorer
and Firefox. The default number of connections is two. Though you can increase this number into
the hundreds, it's recommended not to exceed ten. For more information, see:

Resource-intensive applications such as HP Insight Control performance management have sometimes
encountered problems working with large numbers of systems. In an effort to improve the stability
of the CMS, HP SIM now imposes a limit of 2000 systems on the information that is provided to
these applications. This limit can be changed, if necessary, by adding a new property named
MaxNodesViaSOAP to globalsettings.props and setting it to the desired number of systems.
Setting MaxNodesViaSOAP to a negative number disables the limit checking. In some cases,
setting this limit to a number greater than 2,000, or disabling the limit, can results in errors, including
the possibility of HP SIM hanging or crashing.
