Manage Resources

By default, the search shows all computing resources (such as blade PCs). You can narrow the list of resources shown by using the filter options. The filter option is based on “AND” combinations, so the more boxes you enter, the narrower the list of resources shown. The following are your filter options:

●IP Address/Host Name—Show the list of resources where the IP address or host name matches what you entered (or range or set of computing resources matching what you entered).

●Dedicated Resource—Select to narrow the search to resources assigned as dedicated resources.

●Enabled—Show resources that are manually enabled or disabled only.

●Role—Show resources that belong to a specific role.

●Asset Group—Show resources that belong to a specific asset group.

●Available—Show resources that are available for allocation (no users connected).

●Disconnected—Show resources that have users in a disconnected state.

●In-Use—Show resources that have users actively connected.

●Offline—Show resources that are not available for allocation because the registration service is not responding (service is not working properly, the hardware was powered off, etc.).

Auto Refresh Feature

After performing a search and displaying a list of resources, the following features are available.

Auto Refresh (seconds)—This feature allows the Resource tab web page to automatically refresh. Doing so, the list of computing resources shown is pulled from the database with the latest information.

NOTE: If this option is turned on, then HP SAM administrative console does not time-out and log you off the HP SAM administrative console. This could be a security issue, especially if the session is on a public terminal and the user forgets to shut down the browser or log out.

To use, set the value to 5, 15, 30, or 60 seconds, turn off, set the value to Off, and then click Apply. The setting takes effect immediately.

View Details

To view detail information regarding a resource, click on the magnifying glass under the Details column.

NOTE: For a quick view to see who is currently connected to or disconnected from a computing resource, move the mouse slowly to hover over the icon under the State column. This displays the user account associated with that blade.

Operations

NOTE: Some of the operations below, such as Logoff, Restart, and Shutdown, require the HP SAM Service Account to have administrative privileges on the computing resource (such as a blade PC).
