Standard Features
Product Features
HP SIM management
  • Fault management and event handling. HP SIM provides proactive notification of actual or impending component failure alerts. Automatic Event Handling enables you to configure actions to notify appropriate users of failures through e-mail, pager, or Short Message Service (SMS) gateway, and enables automatic execution of scripts or event forwarding to enterprise platforms, such as HP Network Node Manager or HP Operations Manager software.
  • Consistent multisystem management. HP SIM initiates a task on multiple systems or nodes from a single command on the CMS. This functionality eliminates the need for tedious, one-at-a-time operations performed on each system.
  • Two user interfaces. HP SIM provides the option of a browser-based GUI or a command line interface (CLI) to make it easy to incorporate HP SIM into your existing management processes.

Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) indications for HP-UX, Linux, and Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) devices. HP SIM enables you to use the GUI or CLI to subscribe and unsubscribe to WBEM indications.
Security
  • Role-based security. HP SIM enables effective delegation of management responsibilities by giving system administrators granular control over which users can perform specific management operations on specific systems.
  • Manage Secure Shell (SSH) keys. The SSH Keys feature enables you to view and manage, from the CMS, the public SSH keys stored in the known_hosts file. The SSH keys enable the CMS to authenticate a secure connection with a managed system.
  • Secure remote management. HP SIM leverages operating system security for user authentication and uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Secure Shell (SSH) to encrypt management communications.
  • Configure or Repair Agents. This feature enables you to repair credentials for SNMP settings, System Management Homepage, or Management HTTP Server trust relationships on Windows, Linux, and HP-UX systems supported by HP SIM.
Installation
  • Easy and rapid installation. HP SIM can be installed, quickly and easily, on HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, or HP-UX 11i v3 on PA-RISC/Integrity server platforms, or on ProLiant platforms running Windows or Linux.
  • First Time Wizard. HP SIM provides you with step-by-step, online instructions for performing the initial configuration of HP SIM. The wizard helps you configure HP SIM settings on the Central Management Server (CMS).
Discovery
  • HP SIM can automatically discover and identify systems attached to the network. Discovery filters enable you to limit discovery to specific network segments or IP address ranges. Use discovery filters to prevent discovery of unwanted system types.
Custom tools
  • HP SIM defines tools using simple XML documents that enable you to integrate off-the-shelf or custom tools. These tools can be command line tools, web-based applications, or scripts. Access to these integrated tools is governed by role-based security.
Reporting
  • Data collection and inventory reports. HP SIM performs comprehensive system data collection and enables you to quickly produce detailed inventory reports for managed systems. Reports can be generated in HTML, XML, or CSV format. Data collection and reporting has been added for HP Superdome systems and other cellular complexes. Data that can be collected includes information on enclosures, cabinets, cells, memory, Integrity virtual machines, non-Integrity virtual machines, virtual partitions (vPars), and hard partitions (nPars). The type of data collected depends on what filters are selected.
  • Snapshot comparisons. HP SIM enables you to compare configuration snapshots of up to four different servers, or compare configuration snapshots of a single server over a period of time. This functionality assists IT staff in pinpointing configuration issues that can contribute to system instability. Snapshot comparisons can also be used to save a picture of a standard configuration for comparisons to other systems.
HP Insight Control 7.0

Building on HP Systems Insight Manager, Insight Control delivers comprehensive management for ProLiant ML/DL and BladeSystem servers. For detailed information on HP Insight Control, go to: http://www.hp.com/go/insightcontrol.

  • Server deployment automates the process of server configuration and software deployment, enabling users to quickly and easily adapt to changing business demands by bringing servers to production quicker.
  • Server migration provides an automated, accurate and affordable way to migrate existing servers and their content to the latest HP BladeSystem or ProLiant server technologies or the latest virtualization platforms from VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix.
  • Virtual machine management unifies the management of physical and virtual server resources and provides central management and control of VMware ESX, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer and Xen on Linux virtual machines.
  • Power management helps IT administrators optimize usage of data center power and cooling resources. It accurately measures maximum and average power consumption and air temperature for select HP ProLiant and BladeSystem servers and allows IT administrators to establish power policies - including the option to establish power consumption limits - across customer defined groups of systems.
  • Performance management detects, analyzes, and explains hardware configuration issues and performance bottlenecks on HP ProLiant servers, HP Integrity servers and MSA shared storage. It provides the tools you need to receive proactive notification of building bottleneck conditions, and to debug existing performance issues.
  • Remote management, featuring HP iLO Advanced, provides a no-install, comprehensive Lights-Out remote management capabilities for ProLiant servers. Everything you can do if you are physically at the server, you can do remotely anytime, regardless of server or operating system condition. Capabilities include: graphical remote access (Virtual KVM), team collaboration, server boot and fault video footage, on-demand video record/playback, virtual media and virtual folders, just to name a few.
HP Matrix Operating Environment

HP Matrix Operating Environment analyzes and optimizes your adaptive infrastructure to accelerate complex IT projects and simplify daily operations. HP Insight Dynamics supports select HP ProLiant servers, HP Integrity servers, and non-HP servers (x86), and uses an integrated installer to deploy, configure and integrate HP management components as a single process.

  • Configuration management visualizes physical and virtual infrastructure for ProLiant, BladeSystem, and Integrity servers and allows you -- through logical server management -- to manage physical and virtual servers in the same way. Logical servers are server profiles, which are easily created and freely moved across physical and virtual machines.
  • Infrastructure orchestration enables rapid and consistent infrastructure provisioning. It uses a drag-and-drop visual design tool to easily design simple or complex infrastructure templates, comprised of physical and virtual servers, storage, and network resources. It automatically provisions from a library of templates through a web-based self-service portal. It integrates with existing tools and processes using the included workflow automation engine powered by HP Operations Orchestration.
  • Recovery management provides for automated disaster recovery of logical server environments. With a simple mouse click, it transfers application environments, running on HP BladeSystem or in virtual machines, to a remote recovery site. It utilizes the data replication capabilities of HP storage environments to ensure that application data is properly transitioned to the recovery location and that the overall transition is measured in minutes, not days. Insight Recovery is not supported on HP Integrity or on non-HP servers.
  • Workload management for HP Integrity servers to automatically move resources based on business priorities.
