The only reason I’m getting the errors is because the network has very briefly lost connection to the servers (not a big deal). <BR /><BR />I obviously need to configure the threshold for the hardware status polling task. I only want to be notified if the server dies or has gone offline for a substantial amount of time.<BR /><BR />Can anyone tell me what settings they use to monitor the hardware status / availability?<BR /><BR />Much appreciated.<BR /><BR />Andrew<BR /> Fri, 23 Feb 2007 03:44:45 GMT Andrew Quinlan 2007-02-23T03:44:45Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/hardware-status-polling/m-p/3950118#M25852 Each morning when I logon I get lots of emails from HP SIM telling me that servers became unreachable throughout the night.

I see nothing like this even during backups where the network gets hit.<BR />You might want to check the Duplex settings on some of the NICs.
