HP Custom Data Manager
The HP Custom Data Manager (CDM) maintains user-specified text information on a per server basis. It
can store text information such as warranty expiration, server memo, and server location description.
The text information format is open to users, and the CDM provides the means to view and input the
information.
CDM is a console task on Operations Manager 2007 and launches from HP Servers Groups and sub-
groups.
NOTE: CDM must be installed on each remote Operations Manger 2007 Console. For further
information, see Installing the HP ProLiant Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007
(x86 or x64 editions) (on page 10).
It automatically locates the Operations Manager 2007 host name from the Operations Manager registry
with user credentials. Users need the proper access credentials to use this tool. CDM communicates
with the SDK interface of Operation Manager 2007 and enumerates all HP Server systems in the
Operations Manager 2007 domain. It does not enumerate non-HP servers.
The following command buttons are included with the Custom Data Manager:

•
Open File allows users to load a previously-saved XML file to update the Custom Data section.
Save File allows users to save enumerated HP Server data to an XML file. Microsoft® Excel can
be used to edit the saved XML file to be loaded back to the CDM tool to update the Custom Data
section.
