CSE System Properties

The following table describes the properties displayed in the details pane for a managed CSE system. Use this table to help you interpret and enter data in the details pane.

Property

Definition

Class

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

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. Right-click the CSE icon in the topology window to view this option.

Label

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

This property is updated as part of the CSE wizard.

Default Action

Indicates the action that is initiated when you double-click the CSE system 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 CSE system. The default action is the s-Par UI. 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.

The default action for the CSE is SP_sParUI. This action is setup by the wizard.

Identifier

Specifies the name of the system preceded by the names of the objects that contain it. For example, the identifier of a system in a server is server.system

This property is read-only.

Image

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

To select an image different from the default, click the arrow () in the Image property. The new image must 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.

Name

Indicates the name by which the system is known within Operations Sentinel. The name is used in alerts and log files to identify the system.

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

  • Must be unique; no other system defined in the Managed Objects node can have the same name.

  • Cannot be more than 64 characters in length.

  • Cannot contain any of the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > |     

  • Cannot start with a period (.).

This is the name of the CSE that is displayed with the CSE managed object. It is recommended that the name include the CSE number and the logical numbers of the Specialty Partitions hosted on the CSE. For example, for a CSE with two JProcessors and one ePortal Business, the name could be CSE1-JP1-JP2-EP1.

Server

Specifies the server to which the system belongs.

Use the arrow () in the Server property to select a previously defined server or < None >.

Tag

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

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.

External Network Name

Specifies the s-Par user interface (or Platform Console) IP of the system. The External Network Name is made available to external applications launched for CSE.

You can specify a different External Network Name by editing this property. The default value is the same as the Name value.

While using the wizard, the default value is the same as the Name property. This value must be changed to the s-Par user interface IP address. The default s-Par user interface IP address is 172.28.110.x1, where x is the CSE number 1-16.

The external network name must be included in the hosts file on the Operations Sentinel server, the Domain Name Server, or the Windows Internet Naming Service. Before you edit the External Network Name value, it is recommended that you first change the desired name in the hosts file on the Operations Sentinel server, the Domain Name Server, or the Windows Internet Naming Service.

iDRAC Network Name

Specifies the iDRAC user interface IP of the system.

While using the wizard, you must specify the IP address for the iDRAC. The default iDRAC user interface IP address is 172.28.111.x1, where x is the CSE number 1-16.
