| Display Name |
Descriptive name representing this SiteScope in SAM Administration. This name identifies the SiteScope in the list of SiteScopes in the left pane and in the summary list in the right pane. |
| Host Name |
Host name or IP address of the machine on which SiteScope is currently running. Note: If the BSM you are using uses Lightweight Single Sign-on (enabled by default), you must enter a fully qualified domain name. Example: lab1.emea.hp |
| Port Number |
Port number used to communicate with SiteScope. Default value: 8080 |
| Inaccessible Profile |
Creates a profile for a SiteScope that is not currently accessible from BSM. Creating the profile in this way adds the profile name to the database but there is no connection to the SiteScope from BSM until the actual registration from the SiteScope. Registering a SiteScope to an empty profile is done in SiteScope by creating an integration setting for BSM in SiteScope > Preferences > Integration Preferences > BSM Integration Preferences. Example: In the Profile Settings pane, enter a profile name for a SiteScope to report data to HP Software-as-a-Service (HP SaaS). HP SaaS cannot access the SiteScope until it has been registered from the SiteScope. Note:
