Administrator's Guide HP Session Allocation Manager (SAM) v.2.1

Resources tab
The following sections explain what is available under the Resources tab.
Manage Resources
By default, the search shows all computing resources (such as blade PCs). You can narrow the list of
resources shown by using the filter options. The filter option is based on “AND” combinations, so the
more boxes you enter, the narrower the list of resources shown.
●
IP Address/Host Name—Show the list of resources where the IP address or host name matches
what you entered (or range or set of computing resources matching what you entered).
●
Dedicated Resource—Select to narrow the search to resources assigned as dedicated resources.
●
Enabled—Show resources that are manually enabled or disabled only.
●
Role—Show resources that belong to a specific role.
●
Available—Show resources that are available for allocation (no users connected).
●
Disconnected—Show resources that have users in a disconnected state.
●
In-Use—Show resources that have users actively connected.
●
Offline—Show resources that are not available for allocation because the registration service is
not responding (service is not working properly, the hardware was powered off, etc.).
Auto Refresh Feature
After performing a search and displaying a list of resources, the following features are available.
Auto Refresh (seconds)—This feature allows the Resource tab Web page to automatically refresh.
Doing so, the list of computing resources shown is pulled from the database with the latest information.
NOTE: If this option is turned on, then HP SAM administrator console does not time-out and log you
off the HP SAM administrator console. This could be a security issue, especially if the session is on a
public terminal and the user forgets to shut down the browser or log out.
To use, set the value to 5, 15, 30, or 60 seconds, and then click Apply. To turn off, set the value to
Off, and then click Apply.
View Details
To view detail information regarding a resource, click on the magnifying glass under the Details column.
NOTE: For a quick view to see who is currently connected to or disconnected from a computing
resource, move the mouse slowly to hover over the icon under the State column. This displays the user
account associated with that blade.
Operation
NOTE: Some of the operations below require the account the person logged into the HP SAM server
to have administrative privileges on the computing resource (such as a blade PC). Prior to running the

To perform any of the operations listed below:
