Filter domain view

You can filter the view of a large domain by specifying criteria for nodes that you want to group into a logical display. Nodes that fit the criteria are grouped into a folder under the selected domain in the Configure Managed Nodes dialog box, making it easy to see which nodes belong to a particular system type, OS type, and version.

To specify filter criteria

1. Open the Node Configuration editor if it is not already open.
   1. Select the Nodes folder in the console tree.
   2. Click on the Configuration toolbar to open the Node Configuration editor.
2. Click the + sign beside a network folder to expand it and display a list of domains.
3. Right-click a domain name to open the shortcut menu.
4. Select New Discovery Folder to open the Discovered Node Folder dialog box tab.
5. In the Display Name box, type a name for the domain filter folder.
6. In the Node name contains box, type any text that the names of the nodes you want to filter for have in common. For example, if several of your node names contained the text "murr", nodes named "murr59544", "testmurr59544", and "murr" would all be listed in the filter folder.
7. In the IP Address box, choose Include Range, Exclude Range, or Any. This IP range is different from the IP range set in the IP Range Properties dialog box and is created and modified only within this property page.
8. In the Platform tab, select the System Type you want to filter for.

   The Operating System and Version selections are only available if the HP NNM Adapter is installed on your management server. Otherwise, they are dimmed and unavailable.

9. Select one of the options for version selection. The default when an OS version other than "Any" or "Unknown" is selected is Include only the selected version of the operating system.
10. Click Apply to see the results of your changes.
11. Click OK to confirm your selections and close this dialog box.

You will see a message box saying that the system is retrieving nodes in the selected domain. A counter tallies nodes that meet the filter criteria as they are discovered. A folder with the filter name you specified appears in the Discovered Nodes pane under the selected node.

To cancel the discovery operation, right-click in the Discovered Nodes pane and select Cancel Discovery.

To delete a selected group of filtered nodes, right-click to open the shortcut menu and select Delete.
