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.
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).

Survey Utility

Survey Utility, a feature within Insight Diagnostics, gathers critical hardware and
software information on ProLiant servers.
This utility supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server.
For operating systems supported by the server, refer to the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/supportos).
If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the Survey
Utility marks the previous information and overwrites the Survey text files to
reflect the latest changes in the configuration.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-
Failure Warranty for processors, hard drives, and memory modules.
