On the Identity tab, a status icon indicates the overall health status that is stored in the database. If a system is suspended, a disabled icon appears in place of the hardware status icon and software status icon. The System Status section contains more information on the system status.
The Identity page is divided into the following sections:
System StatusThis section includes the following information: Health Status. The overall status for a system. It is obtained from Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) SNMP, Desktop Management Interface (DMI), and the HTTP protocols with the most critical status displayed. A ping (ICMP or TCP reachable check) is always made. Click the Health Status link to access the System Management Homepage (SMH), if present . If the SMH is not present, the link accesses the Property Page Status page. If no option is available, the Health Status link is not present. Management Processor Status. The management processor status (if available) links to a web server on the management processor. Software Status. The software status icon links to the system software Version Control Agent if available. Disabled Status. A system that is suspended has a disabled icon in the HW and SW columns on the system table view page. Vulnerability Status. The vulnerability status of a system is the indicator summation of security and configuration weaknesses as determined by an external security scan of the system.
Partner applications might have their own status registered with the Central Management Server (CMS). If so, these statuses are displayed under Health Status and as status columns on the system table view page. For example, the System Security Vulnerability Status links to detailed information about the system status with regard to Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack.
More InformationThis section provides more detailed information about the system and lists all system information tools available for the system. The following links are available: System Management Homepage. SMH is launched if available. Property Page. The Property pages are launched if available. Partition Manager View. The Partition Manager is launched if available. Virtual Manager Host View. The Virtual Manager Host View is launched if available.
IdentificationThis section is expanded whenever you access the System Page the first time. The items available in this section include: Address. The IP address, IPX address, or both that have been discovered for the system. Preferred System Name. The name shown for the system. When available, it defaults to the host name from DNS. You can override this setting through the Edit System Properties link under the Tools & Links tab. Network Name.
The fully qualified DNS name, if available. Reverse DNS lookups by IP address must be enabled and match a forward lookup.
UUID.
A unique identifier from the agent or other instrumentation on the system.
Serial Number. The serial number of the system.
Why is the system named "orphan_nnn"? A system described as an orphan system is a system for which HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) detects that both the IP address and name have been reallocated to another system. Occasionally, this reallocation can happen through simultaneous DHCP address assignment changes and a system rename. However, the most common cause is from using drive imaging software, such as Altiris. When imaging systems, a globally unique identifier is used by the Web Agents and HP SIM for identification purposes. On Windows systems, this problem can be avoided by deleting the registry key entry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Compaq\CIMAgent\GUID, from the registry before creating the image. For systems that have already been imaged, stop the foundation agents, remove the key, and restart the agents. A new discovery corrects the problem. Delete any old "ORPHAN" systems from the HP SIM system list.
Product DescriptionThis section includes the following information: Product ID. The identification number that, when added to the serial number of the server, enables HP Support to uniquely identify HP systems System Type. The basic system type returned from identification
System Subtype. The system subtype returned from identification
Product Model.
The product model (name) as defined by the manufacturer
Hardware Description. The description of the hardware obtained from the Edit System Properties page OS Name.
The operating system name for the system used for filtering in operating system-based system collections
OS For Tool Filtering.
The short name of the operating system used for tool filter definition files
OS Description. The detailed description of the operating system (for example, service pack information) OS Version. The numerical representation of the operating system version Management Protocols.
The management protocols that have responded when attempting to identify the system
Note: If more protocols are expected, verify the credentials configured on the System Protocol Settings page. Server Role.
The user-specified server role from the ProLiant agents that can be set from the System Management Homepage
Comments.
The user-specified comments from the SNMP or other agents
Current Running Applications. A list of all applications currently running on the system
Contact InformationThis section includes the following information: Location. A user-specified field from the agents for the physical location of the system Contact.
The user-specified contact of the system from the agents
Note: Many of the fields in the contact and product description sections can be overridden locally on the CMS through the Edit System Properties pages.
Asset InformationThis section includes Asset Number, which is the asset number of the system.
Management ProcessorThis section appears only if a management processor is available. It includes the following information: Name.
The display name (Preferred Name) of the management processor used to manage the system
Address.
The IP address of the management processor used to manage the system
Model.
The model name of the management processor for this system
Host ServerThis section includes the following information: Name. The host server name with a link to the host server System page Slot. The slot number of the host server Model. The product model of the host server
Storage ServerThe following section includes the following information for servers that have a storage server associated: Name. The storage server name with a link to the storage server's System Page Slot. The slot number of the storage server System Page Model. The product model of the storage server
AssociationsThis section includes the following information: Enclosure Name.
The name of the enclosure, if the system is in an enclosure (for example, a p-Class server blade)
Rack Name.
The name of the rack, if the enclosure is in a rack that could be discovered
Slot.
The slot number that the system is positioned within the enclosure
Server Dimensions.
The dimensions in millimeters of the system, if available
