alarm is received, the panel expands to show the alarm. You can enlarge the panel by clicking
the Open in new window icon ( ) to display a separate large window that you can resize
and view from across a room without sitting at the HP SIM terminal.
3. Search panel The search feature enables you to search for matches by system name and
common system attributes. You can also perform an advanced search for matches based on
selected criteria. To speed the search process, as you enter system information in the search
box, a dropdown list appears listing systems that begin with the text you are entering. You
can select from the dropdown list or continue to enter the information. If you do not need to
view this panel at all times, you can collapse it by clicking the minus sign ( ) in the top right
corner of the panel. To expand the panel, click the plus sign ( ).
4. System and Event Collections panel System and event collections enable you to view
all known systems and events in a specific management environment. A collection can be
private, visible only to its creator, or shared, visible to all users. All default collections are
shared. You can add additional collections by clicking the Customize link. Collections can
optionally be configured to show health status icons in this area.
5. HP SIM menus The HP SIM menus provide access to tools, logs, software options, and online
help. The Options menu is primarily for users who administer the HP SIM software. If you
lack authorization to use these tools, you might not be able to view certain menus.
6. HP SIM workspace The workspace displays the results of your latest request. It can contain
a collection, tool, or report. Some tools launch a separate browser window or X Window
terminal instead of displaying in the workspace. This area contains the Home page when
you sign in to HP SIM. By default, the introductory page is the Home page. The introductory
page provides information and tips about HP SIM and links to frequently used features. You
can customize HP SIM to display a different page as the Home page.
NOTE: To maximize the workspace, click the Maximize link next to the Help icon ( ). To
restore the workspace to its original size, click Restore Size.
