Test the HP SAM Registration Service Log into the HP SAM administrator console, click on the Resources tab, and search for the computing resource within the role it was assigned. ● If the computing resource was not found, check the firewall settings and make sure that the service was started on that computing resource. ● If the computing resource is found, select the Resources tab and select Synchronize from the Operation list at the lower right of the screen. NOTE: If the computing resource is marked off-line after the synchronize operation, this typically means the HP SAM Web server is unable to communicate to the computing resource. Check the firewall setting on the computing resource to make sure it allows incoming on port 47777 or the HP SAM registration service. You can find out if the firewall is blocking the necessary traffic by disabling the firewall temporarily and then enabling it again later.

Test the HP SAM Registration Service
Log into the HP SAM administrator console, click on the
Resources
tab, and search for the computing
resource within the role it was assigned.
If the computing resource was not found, check the firewall settings and make sure that the service
was started on that computing resource.
If the computing resource is found, select the
Resources
tab and select
Synchronize
from the
Operation
list at the lower right of the screen.
NOTE:
If the computing resource is marked off-line after the synchronize operation, this typically
means the HP SAM Web server is unable to communicate to the computing resource. Check the firewall
setting on the computing resource to make sure it allows incoming on port 47777 or the HP SAM
registration service. You can find out if the firewall is blocking the necessary traffic by disabling the
firewall temporarily and then enabling it again later.
