HP ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack - Physical to
ProLiant Edition
The HP ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack - Physical to ProLiant Edition (SMP - P2P) software
enables administrators to upgrade or replace an existing server through server migration. SMP - P2P
provides an automated, accurate, and affordable method of migrating existing servers and their content
to the latest server technologies.
SMP - P2P automates the migration of the operating system, applications, and data from one server to
another without errors, eliminating the need for manual redeployment of these elements on the new
server. During the migration process, the software automatically loads new drivers, required for boot, on
the destination server. The wizard-based user interface simplifies the migration process and requires little
experience or training.

HP ProLiant Essentials Performance Management Pack
HP ProLiant Essentials Performance Management Pack (PMP) is an integrated performance management
solution that detects and analyzes hardware bottlenecks on HP ProLiant servers, select HP Integrity servers
and MSA500/MSA1000/MSA1500 shared storage devices.
PMP provides the tools you need to receive proactive notification of building bottlenecks, and debug
existing performance issues. PMP is automatically installed with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM)
and is integrated with HP SIM. No software installation on the monitored servers is required, other than
the Insight Management Agents. PMP analyzes performance information to determine if there is a building
or existing restriction. You can display this information interactively, log the information to a database for
later analysis or reporting, and set up proactive notification using the HP Systems Insight Manager
notification mechanism.

available on the HP website ( http://www.hp.com/products/pmp ).
