HP 9000 rp7440 servers support virtual partitioning (vPars) to the single processor level similar to
support on HP 9000 servers with HP-UX 11i v1. With vPars, a user will be able to support up to four
separate virtual partitions each with an instance of HP-UX within each hard partition. VPars will provide
many of the features of nPars but without the electrical isolation and support for hardware failures that
nPars provides.
HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) is the central point of administration for management applications
that address the Integrity rp7440 and rp8440 server's management requirements. HP SIM delivers
powerful monitoring and control, notifying the administrator of potential hardware or software problems
before they occur. It also provides inventory reporting capabilities that dramatically reduce the time and
effort required to track server assets. HP SIM provides secure communications as well as role based
security to make certain that its powerful capabilities are kept secure from unauthorized users.
Ignite UX addresses the need for HP-UX system administrators to perform fast deployment for one
or many servers. It provides the means for creating and reusing standard system configurations,
enables replication of systems, permits post installation customizations, and is capable of both
interactive and unattended operating modes.
Software Distributor UX (SD UX) is the HP-UX administration toolset used to deliver and maintain
HP-UX operating systems and layered software applications. Delivered as part of HP-UX, SD UX
can help you manage your HP-UX operating system, patches, and application software on HP
9000 servers.
System Management Homepage (SMH) is used to manage accounts for users and groups,
perform auditing and security operations, and handle disk and file system management and
peripheral device management. HP Systems Insight Manager allows these tasks to be distributed
to multiple systems and delegated using role based security.
HP-UX Kernel Configuration is used for self optimizing kernel changes. The new HP-UX Kernel
Configuration tool allows users to tune both dynamic and static kernel parameters quickly and
easily from a Web based GUI to optimize system performance. This tool also sets kernel
parameter alarms that notify you when system usage levels exceed thresholds.
Partition Manager creates and manages nPars for high end servers. After the partitions are
created, the systems running on those partitions can be managed consistently with all the other
tools integrated into SIM.
HP-UX 11i Webmin based Admin is a Web based system management framework that allows a
wide variety of open source Webmin system management modules to be plugged in. HP supports
this tool for the configuration of the HP-UX 11i Apache based Web Server and the HP-UX 11i
Tomcat based Servlet Engine.
HP-UX Bastille is a security hardening/lockdown tool that enhances the security of an HP-UX 11i
UNIX host. It accommodates the various degrees of hardening required of servers used for webs,
applications, and databases.
Security Patch Check efficiently improves systems security by performing analysis of file sets and
patches installed on an HP-UX 11i system and generating a report of recommended security
patches.
System Inventory Manager is for change and asset management. It enables you to easily collect,
store, and manage inventory and configuration information for HP-UX-based servers. It provides
an easy to use, web based interface, superior performance, and comprehensive reporting
capabilities.
Event Monitoring Service (EMS) keeps the administrator of multiple systems aware of system
operation throughout the cluster, and it notifies the administrator of potential hardware or
software problems before they occur. HP Systems Insight Manager can launch the EMS interface
and configure EMS monitors for any node or node group that belongs to the cluster, resulting in
