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
Installation
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
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 HP Matrix Operating Environment analyzes and optimizes your adaptive infrastructure to accelerate complex
Environment
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. For detailed information on Insight Dynamics
suites visit: http://www.hp.com/go/matrixoe.
Capacity planning for planning server capacity and power. Through the new Smart Solver
technology, it collects and analyzes historical data across thousands of variables on virtual and
physical resources and generates plans for consolidation and rebalancing of existing workloads.
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
c04154481 - DA - 11824 Worldwide - Version 50 August 17, 2015

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.
