Broadcast node determined by the subnet mask
Discovery assumes you do not want to ping the subnet network ID (typically the zero node), or the
subnet broadcast address (typically node 255), because these settings would unnecessarily use
network resources. If the system 255 is not a broadcast address on your network, you can indicate
this in the Ping inclusion ranges section as shown in the preceding table or exclude the specific
system in the Exclusion ranges section. HP SIM uses the subnet mask to determine the broadcast
system. If you do not specify a mask, HP SIM uses the default mask for the class of network. If your
subnet mask is not the default for the class, the broadcast system can be included, generating much
more network traffic than necessary.
Operating-system-specific collections, reports, and tools
The following collections are removed if the associated operating system is not selected on the
Managed Environment page of the First Time Wizard or from the Managed Environment page in
the HP SIM UI (Options→Managed Environment). These collections are located in the System and
Event Collections panel under Systems by Operating System and Cluster by Type, with the exception
of All Matrix OE Resources which is located under Systems by Type. The following table lists
collections by operating system.
