HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) provides you with many powerful tools:

  • Cluster Monitor. Adds the ability to monitor and manage multi-system MSCS clusters

  • Command Line Tools.  Command line tools are part of a distributed task facility (DTF) and one of the tools available in HP SIM to run on single-system aware (SSA) systems

  • Custom Commands. Enables you to create and manage custom command tools that launch applications or scripts on the central management server (CMS) (not on target systems) and can reference environment variables set by the tool to access system or event information

  • Device Ping. Enables you to ping one or more systems

  • Disk Thresholds. Defines the Normal, Minor, and Major ranges for disk utilization on monitored nodes and is used to set and remove disk thresholds

  • DMI Access. Allows setting the HP SIM central management server (CMS) as the event target on selected HP-UX systems where DMI has been installed

  • HP ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack (SMP). Extends the functionality of the HP ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack (VMM) to provide integrated physical-to-virtual machine (P2V) and virtual-to-virtual machine (V2V) migrations

  • Initial ProLiant Support Pack Install. Enables you to install software to managed systems

  • Licensing. Provides the ability to manage license keys from HP SIM, including key distribution, reconciliation, and reporting across Windows platforms

  • Management Processor tools. After management processors have been discovered, the following tools are available: system power, system locator, new user, modify user, delete user, LAN access, LDAP settings, iLO control, firmware update, and deploying SSH public keys

  • Management Information Base (MIB) tools. The following tools are available for managing MIBs: compiling MIBs, editing MIBs, registering and unregistering MIBs, and viewing MIBs

  • OpenSSH Install. Runs from the central management server (CMS) and installs the OpenSSH service onto target Windows systems and then runs the mxagentconfig command to complete the configuration

  • Performance Management Pack (PMP). Enables you to watch and analyze in real-time the performance of a monitored server and view recorded data sessions directly from the PMP repository

  • Process Resource Manager (PRM) tools. HP's Process Resource Manager (PRM) enables the system administrator to focus the appropriate amount of system resources exactly where the business needs them

  • Property Pages. Enables a user with full-configuration-rights to view the Property pages on any WBEM system, including WBEM properties that help describe the target system on the network, WBEM properties that help determine the status of the system, and an inventory of the target system based on WBEM properties

  • Replicate Agent Settings. Enables HP SIM to retrieve and optionally edit Web agent configuration settings from a source system and distribute that configuration remotely to one or more target systems through their Web agents

  • Serviceguard Clusters. Provides a mechanism to view cluster information by running HP Serviceguard Manager

  • SNMP Access. Allows setting the HP SIM central management server (CMS) as the trap target on selected HP-UX systems

  • System Management Homepage. Displays the status of the management software and utilities installed on the system

  • System Page. Displays all the information related to a specific system, including general information of the system, the status of the system, and a list of URLs that are related to the system

  • Version Control. Uses HP Insight Management Agent (HP Version Control Repository Manager, HP Version Control Agent, and other agents) to facilitate Software Update and tasks related to it

  • HP ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack. Enables you to deploy the HP ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack agent to target VM hosts

  • Webmin. A Web-based interface for system administration for UNIX and is also used with Linux. Using HP SIM, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing, and so on
