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

Operations
●
Delete—Delete the resource from the system. Do this to clean up the database. You can delete
the computing resource only if its current status is Offline.
●
Disable—Prevent the resource from further allocation. If connected or disconnected, the current
user session is unaffected. If disconnected, the user is not able to log back into the computing
resource.
●
Enable—Allow the resource to be allocated.
●
Logoff User—Force logging off the current user on the resource.
●
Restart—Reboot the resource.
●
Send Message—Send a text message to the user on the resource (a pop-up message).
●
Shutdown—Power down the resource.
●
Synchronize—Send a request directly to the resource for it to send back the current status. In
normal situation, this is not needed, since the registration service sends back its status whenever
there is a change in status (power on, power off, user log-in, user disconnect, and user log-off).
This task is to validate that the registration service is functioning. Else, mark the computing resource
offline if it failed to respond.
●
Assign Roles—Assign a new role to the resource. This setting overrides the configuration file for
the resource.
If you select this option, the Resource Role Assignment window opens. Use this window to select
primary and alternate roles for the resource.
You can also create new roles from this window.
NOTE: Once assigned to roles using the HP SAM Web Administrator console, any changes to
roles in the configuration file will be ignored. To revert back to using the configuration file, delete
the resource from the database, and then restart the computing resource.
This operation is only available if the Roles column is shown on the Manage Resource page. If the
Roles column is not shown, click the Customize View link and add Roles to the list of fields to
display on the Manage Resource page.
Customize View
Use this window to customize the columns that appear for the resources displayed on the Manage
Resource window. You can use the arrows, or you can double-click the items in the Available and
Selected boxes to move them back and forth. The single arrow moves only the selected item, while the
double arrows move all items in the list. You can display a minimum of three and a maximum of six
columns.
