Definition

Class

Indicates the fully qualified class of the object. Used to match events reports to the object. This property is read-only.

Instance

Indicates the fully qualified instance of the object. Used to match events reports to the object. This property is read-only.

Persist

Controls whether or not this object is retained when the Operations Sentinel Services are terminated.

Use the arrow () in the Persist property to select True or False.

Notes

A multiline property that you may use however you choose. You can alter its value by running the SPO.MakeNote external application for the managed device.

Label

Specifies the name that identifies this managed object in a topology.

Default Action

Indicates the action that is initiated when you double-click the server or press Enter while it is selected in a table or topology.

Use the arrow () in the Default Action property to select one of the available external applications for the server or <None>.The default action is<Default>, followed by the name of default action. <None> is available as a selection and indicates no action. The list of available actions can include external applications you have defined and predefined actions supplied by Unisys. The external applications included in the selection list depend on the Object Filters you specify in the External Applications node.

The default action you specify for an individual system has precedence over the default action specified for the class.

Image

Displays the image that represents the server in a topology. The default value of this property is the default specified for the Server object class.

To select an image different from the default, click the arrow () in the Image property. The new image should be small for better performance and visibility. Regardless of the type or size you use, Operations Sentinel automatically converts the image into a 24 x 24 bitmap. You must know where the new image file is stored to select it for the Image property.

See Changing the Image Property for an example of how to use this property.

Primary Service Processor

Displays the name of the primary Service Processor. If the primary Service Processor is unknown, this property displays <None>. This property is read-only.

Server Sentinel Server

Indicates the Windows system or partition that hosts Server Sentinel for the server.

Use the arrow () in the Server Sentinel property to select one of the previously defined Windows systems or <Service Processor>. <Service Processor> indicates that the Server Sentinel software is on the primary Service Processor. If the Server Sentinel value is <Service Processor> and the Primary Service Processor value is <None>, then you cannot launch Server Sentinel for the server from the Tools menu.

Identifier

Specifies the name of the managed object preceded by the names of the objects that contain it. For a server, this is always just the server name. This property is read-only.

Name

Indicates the name by which the server is known within Operations Sentinel. In Operations mode, it is also the label for the server in the navigation pane under the Servers folder.

For Dorado 4000 systems, this is the SMC Domain name defined in OS 2200 Server Management Control (SMC).

You can rename a server by editing this property. The name of the new server

The name that is entered in this property automatically appears as a selection in the Server property for systems.  

Tag

A property that your site can use however you choose. You do not need to specify a Tag value when you define a server.

You might want to use the Tag property as an identifier to make filtering of managed objects easier. A consistent scheme for Tag values can eliminate the need for complex filters or naming conventions.

See Setting the Tag Property for an example of how to use this property.
