HP Sim 5.2 sp2 server unrechable alert

We are running SIM 5.2 SP2 and we get Emails from SIM regarding unreachable systems,
but 2 Systems are still quiet during a reboot.
HP DL360g4p, actual HP PSP, all Agents,
SNMP Setup ok, fully function in HP SIM

Network is flat, same ip range, 1 swicht
ping from HP SIM Sever ok, Setup SNMP Settings
to minimal, (timeout 1, retries 1)

I tested a system with a continuous ping, it was reachable with less than 1ms response time from the server the sim is installed on
but we get no "system unreachable" event during a reboot on this 2 Servers.
Can anyone help me, any Ideas? Thanks

My guess is that the event is falling within the polling time. SIMS polls for hardware status every 5 minutes. If the reboot is right after the server has been polled, and it is back up within 5 minutes, it might not notify you. At least, this has been my experience. I set the "Cold Boot" trap to critical so I get motifications when a server is booted.

Yep - I agree with Rancher, also if the server has not been correctly identified then the polling interval for non-servers is 10 minutes.

There's Rancher's suggestion, you can also increase the frequency of the hardware polling task.

In SIMS, go to Tasks and Logs, View All Scheduled Tasks. Select the polling task you cand and then click Edit. You should be able to configure it there.

hi,

in hp sim gui tasks --> view tasks then just select and edit the hardware polling task (3rd page 'schedule').

What time did you set for a polling time? I found that setting the polling to 1 min took 1 min 7 seconds to run.
