DescriptionStatus typeStatus icon
The system is suspended, which enables a system to be excluded
from status polling, identification, data collection, and automatic
event handling. On the Automatic Discovery page, if you select
the Automatically discover a server blade when its iLO is
identified option, new servers discovered through iLO (for example,
no operating system or IP address known) are shown as disabled
until the system is discovered with an IP address or operating system.
Disabled
HP SIM cannot obtain management information about the system
using SNMP>. Although no management instrumentation information
is available, the system can be pinged. It might have an invalid
community string or security setting, or it might be an IP address that
is no longer associated with a system.
Unknown
The system might be in a transitional state or a nonerror state.Informational
The system has not been polled by one or more of the polling tasks
since the system was discovered.

a trust relationship established with HP SIM.
• The operating system on the target server is not supported.
Windows and Linux operating systems are supported.
• The correct version of the agent is not on the target system.
• The target server type brand is not supported (only HP or Compaq
brand servers are supported).
• The target system is not licensed for monitoring by the HP Insight
Performance Management Pack (PMP). The target system must
have the Insight Management Agent 6.20 or later installed.
