From a HP SIM perspective, the All Systems output can encompass many different types of devices

that HP SIM can reach on the network. Therefore, HP SIM might return many entries that do not relate

to VSE servers. Similarly, HP SIM’s multiplatform support means that All Servers might return more

than just the VSE managed physical servers that are of interest.

To find physical servers that are complexes, add the “All nPartition Servers” query and the

–e flag to the mxquery command. For example:

CMS # mxquery -e "All nPartition Servers"

NoticeID: 226

HWStatus: 0

MPStatus: 0

SWStatus: 0

hp.sim.aggr.alerts: 16

DeviceName: va00-cplx_USE4452HL6

DeviceType: 19

DeviceAddress:

ProductName:

To display just the complex names, use the following simple filter:

CMS # cat listcmplx.sh

mxquery -e "All nPartition Servers" | grep "^DeviceName" | awk

'{printf "%s Complex\n",$2}'

CMS #

This filter produces the following output:

CMS # ./listcmplx.sh

va00-cplx_USE4452HL6 Complex

To display noncomplex HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers, you must create a new query using “All

Standalone Servers” as a template. The mxquery –lf command lists the definition of the

query, as shown in the following example:

CMS # mxquery -lf "All Standalone Servers"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<query-list>

<query id="61" name="All Standalone Servers" type="DeviceViews"

category-name="HPVSE" owner="mxadmin">

<value>Server</value>

</criteria>

<value>HPIntegrity</value>
