Security Patch Check overview

Security Patch Check is a tool that analyzes the currency of a system with respect to security bulletins. It
recommends actions for security vulnerabilities that have not been fixed by previously performed patches,
updates, removals, or, where logged by the user, manual actions. The actions might include updates, software
removals, or manual actions. Use of the Security Patch Check software tool can help efficiently improve
system security but does not guarantee system security.

Security Patch Check performs the following functions:

Generates a report of recommended security actions that are applicable and not installed or applied

Helps automate the process of checking for security patches, updates, or manual actions missing from
a system

Warns about patches with warnings that are present on the system being analyzed

Integrates with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) by enabling you to get the patch catalog and to
run Security Patch Check

To access the Security Patch Check features within HP SIM, select Configure

Security.

HP Serviceguard Manager overview

HP Serviceguard Manager is a graphical user interface that provides configuration, status-monitoring, and
administration of high availability clusters created by HP Serviceguard. The Serviceguard Manager
management station can be an HP-UX, Linux, or Windows system. Using Serviceguard Manager, you can
view the status of all the clusters on your network through color-coded icons. From this high-level perspective,
you can drill down and proactively manage specific clusters, nodes, and packages.

Serviceguard clusters are identified and associated through SNMP and provide a mechanism to view cluster
information by running HP Serviceguard Manager if it is registered with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP
SIM).

NOTE:

If you have systems that have both SNMP and WBEM Serviceguard cluster awareness agents

installed and you previously ran HP SIM 4.x, you must run discovery again for Serviceguard cluster information
to be obtained through WBEM.

You can access HP Serviceguard Manager through one of the following methods:

From the system table view page, select a system that is an HP Serviceguard Cluster. HP SIM searches
the database for the first system that belongs to the cluster and Serviceguard Manager is launched with
that system.

From the system table view page, click a container system that has a cluster member. The cluster member
is passed to Serviceguard Manager. You can also select the row that includes the container system and
launch Serviceguard Manager from the menu by selecting Tools

Integrated ConsolesHP

.

From the system table view page, click a cluster node. The cluster node is passed to Serviceguard
Manager. You can also select the row that includes the container system and then launch Serviceguard
Manager from the menu by selecting Tools

Integrated ConsolesHP Serviceguard Manager.

Access the HP Serviceguard Manager page by selecting Tools
