Data Collection CPU report

HRT — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 20:12:39 GMT

I have updated to SIM 5.2.2, and the CPU report is still broken. For example, say I have a server with 2 CPUs and 2 cores each. When I go to the SMH, this is reported correctly. SIM Data Collection shows four CPU entries. If you have dual quad cores, it shows eight separate entries. This makes the report useless for management. Does anyone know when this is going to be fixed?

Dave,
I've not tried this, but if you're running 8.x of the HP Agents you might want to try switching between SNMP and WBEM for data capture.
What I've found is that WBEM isn't as complete as SNMP but it does seem to be where HP are directing the energies.

Thanks for that. I'm already running some servers with the 8.x agents using WMI. Unfortunately, the result is the same. The Systems Management Homepage reports it correctly, so the fault lies in how SIM stores the data it gets.
