Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Known Issues
This section describes the known issues of the SOM-UCMDB Integration.
- The SAN host configuration report page shows all switch, host, and storage data.
- The integration does not currently support NAS devices.
-
For Switch CITs, UCMDB applies the following identification rules:
Nodes are identified using OS identifiers (for example, IP address or Net Bios name) or hardware identifiers (for example, MAC address or serial number). Two nodes that match the value for at least one OS identifier and one hardware identifier are considered to be the same node. Nodes that do not have such a match and have a conflicting value in either an OS identifier or a hardware identifier are considered to be different.
-
OS identifiers include:
-
Name
-
66% of their IP addresses
-
66% of their IP addresses' Authoritative DNS Name
-
Net Bios name
-
-
Hardware identifiers include:
-
66% of their interfaces' MAC addresses
-
SNMP system name
-
BIOS serial number
-
BIOS UUID
-
Serial number
-
BIOS asset tag
-
-
Two similarly identified nodes are always considered to be different entities for a mismatch of at least one of the following:
-
Operation System Family
-
Cluster Resource Group
-
-
- UCMDB displays only one port for an NPIV switch.
