adding server role in SIM

wordem — Tue, 03 Oct 2006 13:44:04 GMT

I am trying to add 'server roles' to my servers so that I can search and report on that information. Does anyone know where that information is entered?

HP SIM5.0 sp5

The server role is configured on the System Management Homepage --> settings --> SNMP and Agent configuration.

That is the spot that I have added it, but it is still not showing up. I have run a data collection, identify system, stopped & restarted services. What am I missing?

Try a SW status poll

After you configure the server role in the agent (you do not need to restart the agent) you must run the SIM data collection task (not SW status polling, sorry) for SIM to pickup the server role. When you drill down into the system page for that server you will see a line has been added to the product description which now contains the server role.
