The Failed and Degraded Items box displays all items, with a failed or degraded status, provided by the HP Web-enabled System Management software. If there are no agents installed or no failed or degraded items, then the Failed and Degraded Items box displays None.
The Navigation Frame, located below the Title Frame on the left side of the browser window, lists all of the subsystems with components that are available for the devices.
The colored ball and square icons next to the various items in the list indicate the status of those items. A legend for the colored balls is displayed in the Title Frame. Select a component in the left frame to display detailed information about it in the right frame.
Information about the following Subsystems is available in other chapters found in this reference guide:
Configuration Subsystem
Mass Storage Subsystem
NIC Subsystem

Windows NT Operating System
Novell NetWare Operating System
The SNMP Configuration under the Configuration Subsystem can be used to configure Server SNMP Service and Management Agents for servers that are running Microsoft Operating Systems.
Note: HP recommends that you install SNMP services in order to take full advantage of the management capabilities provided with your ProLiant server. Failing to install SNMP will prevent the Insight Manager 7 and other enterprise management applications from receiving hardware pre-failure alerts and will disable Insight Manager functions such as advanced Proliant status polling, inventory reporting, and version control.
Note: Only blade server based systems will display the Enclosure Information link. Clicking the Enclosure Information link takes you to the Enclosure Information Page.
The Data Frame comprises the remainder of the browser window and displays detailed information about the selected items. This window also displays the Summary Page when the Summary option is selected from the Title Frame.
Note: Some items may split the Data Frame into sub frames that follow the same organizational structure as the main frame with navigation data in a sub frame on the left and detailed information in a sub frame on the right.
