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.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors,
SAS and SCSI hard drives, and memory modules.
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).

Lights Out Manager technology

The RILOE subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The RILOE subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
and a dedicated network interface. This design makes RILOE independent of the host server and its
operating system. The RILOE subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends
alerts, and provides other server management functions.
Using RILOE, you can:
•
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
•
Send alerts from RILOE regardless of the state of the host server.
•
Access advanced troubleshooting features through the RILOE interface.
•
Diagnose RILOE using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
For more information about RILOE features, refer to the RILOE documentation on the Documentation CD or
on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).

Option ROM Configuration for Arrays

Before installing an operating system, you can use the ORCA utility to create the first logical drive, assign
RAID levels, and establish online spare configurations.
The utility also provides support for the following functions:
•
Reconfiguring one or more logical drives
•
Viewing the current logical drive configuration
•
Deleting a logical drive configuration
•
Setting the controller to be the boot controller
If you do not use the utility, ORCA will default to the standard configuration.
For more information regarding array controller configuration, refer to the controller user guide.
For more information regarding the default configurations that ORCA uses, refer to the HP ROM-Based
Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD.
