HP VMware ESXi management environment integration note

Data Collection and Reporting

HP SIM Data Collection and Reporting inventories the hardware and software/firmware on the

managed node. This data is cached within SIM so that a user can compare inventories at different

points in time or compare the hardware configuration on different servers. By default, data collection

is run bi-weekly (administrators can alter the collection interval).

SIM provides a default Data Collection Report. The default report link (Figure 14) can be found on the

Systems Page under the Tools and Links tab. This default report (Figure 15) contains an overview of

the OS and hardware/software inventories.
