Hello there

I'm evaulating NSM 7.0.
The NSM is installed on a server named TESTSRV and I need to check a server named PRODSRV.
All checks against PRODSRV regarding services, ping, ecc are working correctly except the check for a Command Line Executable Output.

My need is to check the output of the HP command to check the healthy state of Array Controllers.
If I execute the command i locally in PRODSRV everything is ok.

So I tried to configure this check on NSM
I configured the "target" server to be PRODSRV
I configured "check parameters" to run "C:\progs\ACU\HPACUCLI.exe"
I configured "parameters" to run "controller all show status"

When I execute this control, the command HPAUCLI.exe is executed locally (on TESTSRV) not on PRODSRV and since the command also exist on local server I always get a positive response

I also tried to change the "target" server to "INEXISTANT-SERVER-NAME" or "INEXISTANT-IP-ADDRESS" and it seems to be ignored. The command is ALWAYS executed! It sounds like a bug. If it is expected to always run locally then
1) why it is not mentioned on the user manual?
2) why enable the "target" field since it is ignored?
3) why all other checks works correctly?

Thanks in advance
Massimo
