OS 2200 JProcessor and QProcessor System Properties

The following table describes the properties displayed in the details pane for managed OS 2200 JProcessor and QProcessor systems. 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 is derived from UNIX/Linux system.
Instance	Indicates the fully qualified instance of the object. Used to match events reports to the object. This property is read-only.
Label	Specifies the name that identifies this managed object in a topology.
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.
Default Action	Indicates the action that is initiated when you double-click the 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 OS 2200 JProcessor or QProcessor system. The default action is the Specialty Engine Administration Console (SP_Specialty_Engine) for the JProcessor and QProcessor system classes. 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 OS 2200 JProcessor and QProcessor System class.
Identifier	Specifies the name of an object 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 OS 2200 JProcessor system class and QProcessor system 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.
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. It is recommended that you specify a system name that matches the system’s external network name. You can rename an OS 2200 JProcessor system or QProcessor system 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 (.). After you rename the OS 2200 JProcessor system or QProcessor system, messages and event reports for the system are written to log files with the new name. However, any existing Operations Sentinel log files for that system are not renamed. The value of the Name property must match the Network Name property of the system in the Specialty Engine Administration Console. The Name, Network Name, External Network Name, and Host ID (configured in the JProcessor or QProcessor Admin Console) must all be the same to be able to monitor and manage the JProcessor or QProcessor. It is recommended that the name used include the CSE number and the logical number of the JProcessor or QProcessor Specialty Engine. For example, for JProcessor 1 in CSE1, the name could be CSE1-JP1. It is also recommended that this name be used for the s-Par Environment name.
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 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. Specifies a value that allows the Specialty Engine Administration Console to be launched from the JProcessor or QProcessor node in the topology. You must manually set this property to “SpecialtyEngine”. The wizard does not automatically set the tag property. See Setting the Tag Property for an example of how to use this property.
Automation Mode	Controls automation for the system and the amount of automation information written to the SP-AMS log for the system. This property is not applicable for OS 2200 JProcessor and QProcessor because SP-AMS is not used with OS 2200 JProcessor and QProcessor. See Setting the Automation Mode Property for additional information on changing the automation mode.
Console Server	Specifies the network name or IP address of the device used to remotely access the system console, such as Unisys Console Manager or another network console management device. This property is not applicable for OS 2200 JProcessor and QProcessor.
Monitor	Specifies whether the communication link between the OS 2200 JProcessor or OS 2200 QProcessor system and the Operations Sentinel server is monitored by Operations Sentinel. Use the arrow () in the Monitor property to select either True (default) The status of the connection is monitored. False The status of the connection is not monitored. Logging of system messages and automation using SP-AMS are not performed. When the value is False, the connection is not monitored; however, alerts are still raised against the system. Typically you must set Monitor to False if a system is switched off frequently (for example, at the end of every day), but you want to receive alerts from the system whenever it is up. See Setting the Monitor Property for additional information on enabling or disabling monitoring. This property must be set to True.
External Network Name	Specifies the Specialty Engine IP as External Network Name to launch the Specialty Engine Administration Console. The Name, Network Name, External Network Name, and Host ID (configured in the JProcessor or QProcessor Admin Console) must all be the same to be able to monitor and manage the JProcessor or QProcessor. It is recommended that the name include the CSE number and the logical number of the JProcessor or QProcessor Specialty Engine. For example for JProcessor 1 in CSE1, the name could be CSE1-JP1. It is also recommended that this name be used for the s-Par Environment name.
Network Name	The value of this property must match the fully qualified host name of the Specialty Engine as specified in the Administration Console. You can specify a different Network Name by editing this property. The name can have a maximum of 64 characters. The first character must be a letter. The last character must be a letter or a digit. The remainder might be letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, or periods. This name is not case-sensitive. See Setting the Network Name Property for additional information about this property and for a procedure to change the network name. The Name, Network Name, External Network Name, and Host ID (configured in the JProcessor or QProcessor Admin Console) must all be the same to be able to monitor and manage the JProcessor or QProcessor. It is recommended that the name used include the CSE number and the logical number of the JProcessor or QProcessor Specialty Engine. For example for JProcessor 1 in CSE1, the name could be CSE1-JP1. It is also recommended that this name be used for the s-Par Environment name.
Service Name	Identifies an entry in the services file that completes the definition of the communications link that Operations Sentinel uses to connect to the managed system. The Service Name should be set to spo_ping. See Setting the Service Name Property for additional information about service names and for a procedure to change the service name. You must manually change the Service Name to spo_ping while using the wizard. The wizard specifies spo_telnet.
Timeout Period	This property is not applicable to OS 2200 JProcessor system or QProcessor system because the Service Name is set to spo_ping.
Command Security	Specifies the level of security access for the submission of commands to the system through command event reports. This property must be set to NoAccess because there is no command interface for the OS 2200 JProcessor and QProcessor systems.
Automation State	This property is not applicable to the OS 2200 JProcessor and QProcessor class because SP-AMS is not used with the OS 2200 JProcessor and QProcessor systems.
Connection State	Displays the state of the connection between the Operations Sentinel server and the system. This value affects the display of the connection line in topologies. The value is one of the following: Connected Operations Sentinel has established a connection to the system. The connection line around the system in the topology is a solid green. Disconnected Operations Sentinel cannot establish a connection to the system. The connection line around the system in the topology is red-dashed. Unmonitored Operations Sentinel is not attempting to establish a connection to the system because the Monitor property for the system is False.No connection line is drawn around the system. Unknown Operations Sentinel has no information on the connection to the system.The connection line around the system in the topology is red-dashed. If the state of the connection is Disconnected or Unknown, an alert is raised. This property is read-only.
Policy Current	Indicates whether the version of the resource policy on the monitored system is the same as the version of the policy on the Operations Sentinel server. The value is True if the version of the policy on the monitored system matches the version of the policy on the Operations Sentinel server. Otherwise the value is False.
Policy Enabled	Indicates whether the resource monitor agent (ULRM) is using the policy to monitor the system. The value is True if the resource monitor agent is using the policy to monitor the system. Otherwise the value is False.
Resource Policy	Indicates the name of the resource policy that is loaded on the monitored system. A resource policy dictates what resources should be monitored and the conditions under which alerts should be sent to Operations Sentinel.
Agent Version	Displays the agent level of the UNIX/Linux Resource Monitor running on the UNIX/LINUX system. If the Agent Level is “blank”, either ULRM is not connected to Operations Sentinel or the version of ULRM is prior to ULRM 12.0.
Console State	Displays the operational state of the system. The value is one of the following: Active If the value of Monitor is True, the connection is in a state where data can be exchanged. Inactive The connection to the managed system has not been established or has been broken. If the value of Monitor is True, an inactive state indicates a problem. If the value of Monitor is False, this represents a normal condition. Timeout No message traffic or heartbeat has been received from the managed system within the timeout period defined for that system. This can indicate a problem on the managed system, such as a system hang, console hang, or a problem with the communications required to monitor that system. Busy The Operations Sentinel server cannot connect to the managed system. For systems that are connected to the Operations Sentinel server through a terminal server, another process on the server has control of the Operations Sentinel server port and is preventing Operations Sentinel from exclusively attaching to the port. Unrecognized The configuration information needed to access the connection is incorrect or incomplete. This usually means that the Network Name or Service Name for the connection is not known on the Operations Sentinel server. If the Connection State value is Unmonitored, the Console State value is always Unrecognized. This property is read-only.
Host sPar Network Name	Specifies the IP address or network name to reach the s-Par user interface (Platform Console). The default s-Par UI IP address is 172.28.110.x1, where x is the CSE number 1-16.
Host sPar UUID	Specifies the JProcessor or QProcessor Partition s-Par Universal Unique ID (UUID). The JProcessor or QProcessor Partition s-Par UUID is used to launch the s-Par Partition Desktop for the JProcessor or QProcessor Partition. To obtain the s-Par UUID in the host s-Par UI: Navigate to the s-Par UI (Platform Console) for the CSE hosting the JProcessor or QProcessor Partition. Click on the JProcessor or QProcessor Partition name. The screen changes to the JProcessor or QProcessor Environment Settings. Copy the 32 digit ID from the Environment UUID and paste it in the Operational Sentinel Console field provided by the wizard. This enables you to launch s-Par desktop partition for the JProcessor or QProcessor Partition.
