Test The Hp Sam Registration Service; Install And Validate The Hp Sam Client Software - HP BladeSystem bc2000 - Blade PC Administrator's Manual

Test the HP SAM Registration Service

Log into the HP SAM administrator console, click on the Resources tab, and search for the computing
resource within the role it was assigned.
●
If the computing resource was not found, check the firewall settings and make sure that the service
was started on that computing resource.
●
If the computing resource is found, select the Resources tab and select Synchronize from the
Operation list at the lower right of the screen.
NOTE: If the computing resource is marked off-line after the synchronize operation, this typically
means the HP SAM Web server is unable to communicate to the computing resource. Check the firewall
setting on the computing resource to make sure it allows incoming on port 47777 or the HP SAM
registration service. You can find out if the firewall is blocking the necessary traffic by disabling the
firewall temporarily and then enabling it again later.
