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 ).
