HP ProLiant DL380p HP Insight Management Agents architecture for Windows serve - Page 17

Setting the server role System Administrators can use the Insight Management Agents architecture to define server Roles for any servers being managed using HP SIM. The Server Role is a user-defined string of up to 256 characters. It is typically used to identify a server's function in the network or even its physical location. Administrators can set the Server Role in several ways:  using Configure and Repair Agents in HP SIM  from the SMH of the managed server  from the Management Agents configuration utility Administrators can use the server role field as one of the search criteria in the HP SIM Advanced Search function. This allows them to find groups of servers based on their Server Role and to create SIM Collections from these groups. Figure 8 shows an Advanced Search screen using Server Role as a search criterion. Figure 8. Advanced Search in HP SIM using Server Role as a criterion 17
