1 Overview

The HP Insight Management Agents provide system status information that you can monitor
your system using HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM). The System Management Homepage is
software that provides an interface between the management agents and the manageability tools,
organizing information from HP Insight Management Agents for display in a web page.
You can install and configure HP Insight Management Agents on your Integrity server after
installing a supported Linux operating system—either RHEL or SLES. See
for directions about accessing the operating system support matrix.
The rest of this chapter provides more information about HP Manageability Tools, HP Insight
Management Agents, the HP System Management Homepage, and HP Management Base.
NOTE:
If HP Insight Management Agents are already installed on your system, see the
"Reconfiguring HP Insight Management Agents" (page 17)

HP Manageability Tools

HP manageability tools are used to monitor the system status information that is provided by
HP Insight Management Agents.

HP Systems Insight Manager

HP SIM is a multiple operating system application for managing HP ProLiant, HP Integrity, and
HP 9000 systems running HP Insight Management Agents in a Microsoft Windows, Linux, or
HP-UX environment.
HP SIM offers event monitoring and analysis. It delivers the capabilities required to manage all
HP platforms from a central management server (CMS) and can be extended to provide custom
device management.

HP System Management Homepage

HP System Management Homepage is software that provides an interface between the HP Insight
Management Agents and HP manageability tools. The System Management Homepage software
organizes data from HP Insight Management Agents installed on a server into easy-to-read
tables, which it displays in a web interface. For more information about System Management
Homepage, see the following web page:

HP System Management Homepage documentation is located in the /docs directory on the HP
Support Pack media of the HP Insight Foundation suite for Integrity with Linux.

HP Management Base

HP Management Base for HP Integrity Servers installs an Open intelligent platform management
interface (IPMI) driver appropriate for the target system and several utilities for baseboard
management controller (BMC) management. These items are needed by other management
products, such as HP Insight Management SNMP Agents and HP WBEM Providers. HP
Management Base is installed or updated on your system by default using the HP Support Pack
media of the HP Insight Foundation Suite for Integrity with Linux. For information about HP
