prerequisites. The Advisor runs a series of tests on the server and identifies issues that might affect the
HP Insight Control Environment integrated installation or operation.
NOTE: The Insight Software Advisor was formerly called the HP Insight Control Environment Advisor.
HP Performance Management Pack (PMP)—Enables HP SIM to proactively detect, analyze, and report
performance bottlenecks on HP ProLiant and Integrity servers, Modular Storage Array storage, and
VMware™ and Microsoft Virtual Server virtual machines to ensure server workloads run at peak
performance levels.

(P2V), and virtual to virtual (V2V) migrations.
HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM)—Simplifies the management of BladeSystem
environments that use HP Virtual Connect to control LAN and SAN connectivity. This application provides
a central console to manage and control infrastructure resources, a single resource pool for LAN and
SAN address administration, and grouping capabilities that enable rapid, reliable deployment and
movement of servers across the data center.
System Management Homepage (SMH)—Used by the suite of Web Based Enterprise Management to
communicate over HTTP and HTTPS, which provides a uniform set of functionality and security to HP
Web-enabled system management software.
HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM)—In conjunction with the HP Version Control Agent

or manually download and install the software. Some software packages require RSSWM.
HP Systems Insight Manager Integration Module for Insight Rapid Deployment (RDP-HP SIM
Connector)—Enables you to start deployments from the HP SIM console, in context of selected servers
or groups of servers. The connector also synchronizes the RDP and HP SIM device databases.
HP Insight Orchestration (IO) software—An optional extension of HP Insight Dynamics – VSE that enables
self-service infrastructure capabilities. Using IO, you can design best practice infrastructure services,
automatically provision from pools of resources through a self-service portal, continuously operate and
optimize deployed infrastructure services, and integrate with existing management tools and processes
using the embedded workflow automation software.
Virtual Server Environment (VSE) management software—A set of applications which are among the
components delivered by the HP Insight Dynamics – VSE for ProLiant and Virtual Server Environment
