View node System properties

Properties for nodes in the console tree Nodes folder are configured by your administrator and can be viewed in a read-only dialog box.

To view System properties for a selected node

1. Right-click the name of the node in the console tree to open the shortcut menu.
2. Select Properties to open the Properties dialog box for the selected node, which displays the General tab by default.
3. Select the System tab, which displays the following information:
   • System Type: Displays the system type for the selected node. If the node is of a type that is not supported by HP Operations Manager, this box will display a system type of Other.
   • Agent Comm Type: Displays the agent comm type configured for this system. Possibilities include DCE and HTTPS.
   • Operating System: Displays the operating system type. If the value cannot be determined, this box displays an operating system of Unknown.
   • Bit Length: Displays the configured bit length for this system. Possibilities include 32 and 64 bit.
   • Agent Binary Format: Displays the agent binary format configured for this system.
   • Version: The information has been automatically entered. If the value cannot be determined or is unsupported, this box remains blank. The list box shows the available versions for the selected operating system. You can select from the list or type in a version not available from the list (for example, a newly released version).
   • Automatically grant certificate: The HTTPS agent requires certificates, which enable it to communicate securely with the management server. The node can request these certificates from the management server. Check this box if you want the management server to automatically grant certificate requests for this node.

     For this property to take effect, you must also configure the management server to grant certificate requests automatically.

   • Certificate State: Shows whether the HTTPS node has the certificates it requires to communicate securely with the management server.

     The certificate is installed on this node.

     Denied

     The management server received a certificate request and has informed the node that it is not going to grant it.

     Failed

     Tthe management server tried to grant or deny the request, but was not able to do it (because the node could not be reached, for example).

     Pending

     A certificate request has been received for this node, but not yet granted, denied, or discarded.

     Granted

     The certificate request has been granted on the management server, but the node does not have the certificate yet. You may see this state if you are granting many certificate requests at once.

     Undefined

     No certificate request has been received for the node.

   • Prerequisite check: Shows whether the node has passed the prerequisite check. If Passed is not selected, the prerequisite check has not yet run or has failed.
