HP ProLiant Essentials Virtualization Management Software
The ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack and ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack
plug-ins extend HP Systems Insight Manager capabilities to manage virtual machines.
The Virtual Machine Management Pack provides central management and control of VMware® and
Microsoft® virtual machines with physical host to virtual machine association, easy identification of VMs
or host servers reaching high CPU, memory or disk utilization levels, highly flexible move capabilities that
allow live moves and moves to dissimilar host resources, and back up, template and alternate host
capabilities that enable restoration of VMs on any available host.
The Server Migration Pack automates the manual processes required for migrating servers between
physical or virtual platforms (P2V, V2P, and V2V), allowing you to easily move servers to appropriate
physical or virtual platforms that meet performance and capacity requirements.

Redundant ROM support
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server
has a 4-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 2-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the
ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup
version.
NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.
