On the Identity tab, a status icon indicates the overall health status that is stored in the database. If a system is suspended, a disabled icon appears in place of the hardware status icon.

The Identity page is divided into the following sections:

"System Status"
"Identification"
"Product Description"

System Status

This section includes:

Health Status. The overall status for a system. It is obtained from Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Desktop Management Interface (DMI) Status Polling tasks, or all three. A ping (ICMP or TCP reachable check) is always made. Click the Health Status link to access management processor's home page.

Refer to System Table View Page - System Status Types for more information on system status types.

Identification

This section is expanded whenever you access the System Page the first time.


Note:


	This section can be expanded of collapsed by clicking and .


Important:


	DMI identification is only supported on Windows and HP-UX-based central management server (CMS) installs. In addition, only like operating systems can be identified. For example, Windows-based CMSs can identify Windows-based DMI, and HP-UX-based CMSs can only identify HP-UX-based DMI systems.

The items available in this section include:

Address. The IP address, IPX address, or both that have been discovered for the system.
Preferred System Name. This is the name shown for the system. When available, it defaults to the host name from DNS. You can override this through the Edit System Properties link under the Tools & Links tab.
Network Name. If available, this is the fully qualified DNS name. Reverse DNS lookups by IP address must be enabled and match a forward lookup.
Serial Number. This is the serial number of the system.
