Data Collection pollution

[Daniel_340]

I have noticed that if I turn on the WBEM "transport" in the Global Protocol Settings, historical data collection tasks starts to create erroneous and redundant entries for logical disks. For example, the database CIM_LogicalDisk table, gets polluted with the default description "Local Fixed Disk" rather than C: [NTFS], etc.

If I turn off WBEM, the right disk descriptions re-appear in the SQL table, but Product Name and OS Name information disappear from the SIM Console screen.

Has anybody experienced this weird behaviour?

This would be solved if HP developpers could implement protocol assigments, allowing administrators to specifically select which protocol is assigned to specific tasks (data collection=SNMP, hardware polling=SNMP+WBEM, software polling=SNMP+WBEM+HTTP/HTTPS, etc.)
