Hp Systems Insight Manager - HP 2000sa Deployment Manual

HP Systems Insight Manager

HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) is the foundation for the HP unified server-storage management
strategy. SIM is a hardware-level management product that provides basic management features
through a single management view. SIM provides device management capabilities that consolidate
and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices. SIM reports hardware fault
conditions (both failure and pre-failure) and collects data for reporting and graphing. SIM also
provides base-level management of HP clients, printers, and selected storage.
HP recommends using HP SIM to monitor the performance of your systems.
NOTE: You must install and use SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors,
SAS, SCSI, and SATA drives, and memory modules.
Key SIM benefits include:
System discovery and identification
Fault management and event handling
Inventory data collection
Data collection and inventory reports on system devices
