details you provided for a device or system by attempting to connect to the managed system.
When the test succeeds, the word Test will display in green; if it fails the Test will display in red.
For each device, you should indicate the type of device, select a communication protocol and provide
authentication details (or associate devices with a credential group) and click Save All Changes to
prepare devices for RSCC collections.
Running a Network Devices Configuration Collection
Configuration collections are scheduled to run for network devices at a maximum of once per week by
means of the Tasks & Logs → View All Scheduled Tasks area in HP SIM. You can run configuration
collections manually by clicking Run Now, but it will fail if a collection (scheduled or manual) has been run
within the previous week.
Note: This restriction does not apply to configuration collections run on individual devices/systems by
means of the Options → Status Polling → Network/P4000/SAN/Server/Storage Configuration
Collection options in HP SIM.
Important: It is important to understand the difference between the HP SIM Task status (accessible
by means of the Tasks & Logs → View Task Results menu item in HP SIM) and the status
displayed under the CC column in the Network Services tab.
The HP SIM task status reflects whether the collection was successfully initiated and completed,
whereas entries in the CC column in the Network Services tab indicate whether errors were detected
during a configuration collection.
You should also note that some collection-related errors are not reflected under either status area, for
example, login and connectivity failures.
