NOTE: Once assigned to roles using the HP SAM administrative console, any changes to roles in the configuration file will be ignored. To revert back to using the configuration file, delete the resource from the database, and then restart the computing resource.

NOTE: Starting with SAM 3.2, the Logoff, Restart, and Shutdown operations are now supported with Linux resources. To enable this, a certificate from the domain certificate authority must be installed on the HP SAM website in IIS.

To perform any of the operations listed below:

1.Select the appropriate resource(s).

2.Select the task to perform in the Operation list.

3.Click the Go button.

Operations

●Delete—Delete the resource from the system. Do this to clean up the database. You can delete the computing resource only if its current status is Offline.

●Disable—Prevent the resource from further allocation. If In-use, the current user session is unaffected. If Disconnected, the user is not able to log back into the computing resource.

●Enable—Allow the resource to be allocated.

●Logoff User—Force logging off the current user on the resource.

●Restart—Reboot the resource.

●Send Message—Send a text message to the user on the resource (a pop-up message). Not supported with Linux resources.

●Shutdown—Power down the resource.

●Synchronize—Send a request directly to the resource for it to send back its current status. In normal situations, this is not needed, since the registration service sends back its status whenever there is a change in status (power on, power off, user logon, user disconnect, and user logoff). This is useful in situations where the network was temporarily interrupted between the resource and HP SAM server in order to get the current status of the resource.

●Assign Roles—Assign new roles to the resource. This setting overrides the configuration file for the resource.

If you select this option, the Resource Role Assignment window opens. Use this window to select primary and alternate roles for the resource.

You can also create new roles from this window.

●Assign Asset Groups—Assign new asset group(s) to the resource.
