Management tools

HP Systems Insight Manager

HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative

tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities

that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.

IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for

processors, SAS and SCSI hard drives, and memory modules.

For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or

the HP SIM website (

http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim

).

Management Agents

Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration

management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and third-

party SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted

installation or can be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status

and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management

Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation

Pack or the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/servers/manage

).

Diagnostic tools

Array Diagnostic Utility

The HP Array Diagnostics Utility is a web-based application that creates a report of all HP storage

controllers and disk drives. This report provides vital information to assist in identifying faults or conditions

that may require attention. ADU can be accessed from the SmartStart CD or downloaded from the HP

website (

http://www.hp.com

).

Remote support and analysis tools

Open Services Event Manager

OSEM is a standalone tool that performs real-time reactive and proactive service event filtering, analysis,

and notification. The tool gathers event data from SNMP traps or information provided over an HTTP

interface and notifies an administrator or HP through SMTP and ISEE.
