HP SIM V5.1 User Guide (356920-009, January 2007)

• When you save the thresholds, disabled thresholds are deleted. A Reset Warning Disk Percent
Usage Threshold can never be higher than the critical threshold minus 3%. For example, if the critical
threshold is 95%, the valid range for the warning threshold is 6% to 92%.
• The Agent Polling Interval value is the polling interval in seconds that determines how often the agents
check if the current values exceed the threshold. A common value is 120 seconds.
Removing disk thresholds
Removing disk thresholds is another task that you can perform in HP SIM. Use this task to remove disk
thresholds from systems in an associated list. This task only removes disk thresholds that were set by HP SIM
or by browsing directly to the HP Insight Management Agent. Any thresholds set by Insight Manager (WIN32),
including disk thresholds, are not removed by this task.
To remove disk thresholds, select Configure→Disk Thresholds→Remove All Disk Thresholds. The
Remove All Disk Thresholds window appears. To select target systems, see “Creating a task” for more
information. After the target systems are selected, click Schedule to schedule when the task will run, or click
Run Now to run the task immediately. The All Scheduled Tasks page appears.
