Virtual Machine Management Pack; Hp Insight Control Environment For Linux - HP BL685c - ProLiant - 4 GB RAM Management Manual

Virtual Machine Management Pack

The ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack (VMMP) provides integrated management
and control of physical and virtual infrastructures:
• Support for heterogeneous virtualization platforms from VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix
• Identification of virtual machines (VMs) or host servers reaching high CPU, memory, or disk
utilization levels
• Integration with common HP SIM functions and processes (discovery, identification, event
notification and handling, role-based access to specific VMs or hosts, task scheduling, and group-
based actions) for both virtual and physical servers
• Flexible capabilities that allow live moves and moves to dissimilar host resources
• Ability to restore of virtual machines on any available host. Using HP SIM predictive failure alerts,
VMMP minimizes downtime by proactively relocating virtual machines before hardware failures
occur.
• Ability to manage virtualization platforms from the same console used for physical server
administration

HP Insight Control Environment for Linux

HP Insight Control Environment for Linux (ICE-Linux) provides comprehensive discovery, imaging,
deployment, monitoring, and management for Linux-based HP ProLiant server platforms (c-Class
BladeSystems, DL 300-Series servers, and DL 500-Series servers) with a flexible networking model.
Built on the HP SIM framework, this solution integrates open source technology with the experience
leveraged from HP Linux products in HP Insight Control Linux Edition and HP XC Clusters.
HP ICE-Linux software is designed for and built on Linux and leverages HP management expertise with
other operating environments. Open source software (for example, Nagios
integrated with SIM and includes HP auto-configuration capability that allows users to be productive
quickly. Figure 19 shows how HP Insight Control Environment for Linux is applied to both the
management server and the managed server.
