Procedure 234 Configuring Node Resource Settings
1. From the Cluster list at the top of the page, select the cluster, and then select All to configure
a resource in the same way for all clusters. To set polling values for CPU utilization or disk
capacity, set the cluster choice to All.
2. From the Node list, select the node, and then select All to configure a resource in the same
way for all nodes in the selected cluster. As in step 2, you can set some resource attributes
only once for all nodes. As a result, you must select all clusters and nodes. For more information,
see the individual attribute descriptions for a particular resource.
3. To display buttons for resource-configurable parameters, select the resource from the Resource
list.
4. Specify resource options.
HP recommends setting the polling rate to no less than 5 minutes.
If you select All from the Cluster list and select CPU or Disk from the Resource list, you can set
polling or threshold values. If you select Polling, set the value, then select Thresholds, set the
values, and then select Polling again. The new polling values appear. Regardless of when
you click OK after setting the polling or thresholds values, these values are saved and do not
reset to the original value, which is the same when setting thresholds.
5. Click OK to save the changes.

Command line tools
A CMS tool usually runs on the CMS and is usually a script or batch file that can pass environment
variables. Using automatic event handling, you can configure this tool to run when specific events
are received. This tool can be scheduled and is selected by default when you access the New
Custom Tool page. For more information about the environment variables that can be passed, see
Custom tool environment variables. In previous releases of HP SIM, CMS tools were called custom
tools.
Procedure 235 Creating a CMS tool
1. Under Tool Parameters, enter the following information:
a. In the Name field, enter the command name. Custom tool names must be at least one
character, and not more than 255 characters in length. The first character of the name
must be alphabetic. Subsequent characters can be letters, digits, spaces, or any of the
following: "-", ".", "(", ")" or "_".
b. In the Description field, enter the information for the tool.
c. In the Help comments field, enter comments for the tool.
d. In the Menu placement field, enter the full path (from the root of the HP SIM console) and
the file name of the tool (for example, c:\custom code\romflash.bat).
