HP-UX Servicecontrol Manager is the central point of administration for management applications that address

the configuration, fault, and workload management requirements of an adaptive infrastructure.
Servicecontrol Manager maintains both effective and efficient management of computing resources. It integrates

with many other HP-UX-specific system management tools, including the following, which are available on Itanium 2
based servers:

servers. It provides the means for creating and reusing standard system configurations, enables replication of systems,
permits post-installation customizations, and is capable of both interactive and unattended operating modes.

systems and layered software applications. Delivered as part of HP-UX, SD can help you manage your HP-UX
operating system, patches, and application software on HP Itanium2-based servers.
System Administration Manager (SAM) is used to manage accounts for users and groups, perform auditing and

security, and handle disk and file system management and peripheral device management. Servicecontrol Manager
enables these tasks to be distributed to multiple systems and delegated using role based security.

HP-UX Kernel Configuration
allows users to tune both dynamic and static kernel parameters quickly and easily from a Web based GUI to optimize
system performance. This tool also sets kernel parameter alarms that notify you when system usage levels exceed
thresholds.
Partition Manager creates and manages nPartitions-hard partitions for high-end servers. Once the partitions are

created, the systems running on those partitions can be managed consistently with all the other tools integrated into
Servicecontrol Manager. Key features include:
Easy-to-use, familiar graphical user interface.
Runs locally on a partition, or remotely. The Partition Manager application can be run remotely on any system
running HP-UX 11i Version 2 and eventually select Windows releases and remotely manage a complex either
by 1) communicating with a booted OS on an nPartition in the target complex via WBEM, or 2)
communicating with the service processor in the target complex via IPMI over LAN. The latter is especially
significant because a complex can be managed with NONE of the nPartitions booted.
Full support for creating, modifying, and deleting hardware partitions.
Automatic detection of configuration and hardware problems.
Ability to view and print hardware inventory and status.
Big picture views that allow system administrators to graphically view the resources in a server and the
partitions that the resources are assigned to.
Complete interface for the addition and replacement of PCI devices.
Comprehensive online help system.
Security Patch Check determines how current a systems security patches are, recommends patches for continuing

System Inventory Manager
System Inventory Manager is for change and asset management. It allows you to easily collect, store and manage

Event Monitoring Service (EMS) keeps the administrator of multiple systems aware of system operation throughout

the cluster, and notifies the administrator of potential hardware or software problems before they occur. HP
Servicecontrol Manager can launch the EMS interface and configure EMS monitors for any node or node group that
belongs to the cluster, resulting in increased reliability and reduced downtime.
Process Resource Manager (PRM) controls the resources that processes use during peak system load. PRM can

manage the allocation of CPU, memory resources, and disk bandwidth. It allows administrators to run multiple
mission critical applications on a single system, improve response time for critical users and applications, allocate
resources on shared servers based on departmental budget contributions, provide applications with total resource
isolation, and dynamically change configuration at any time-even under load. (fee based)
HP-UX Workload Manager

HP-UX Workload Manager
HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM) A key differentiator in the HP-UX family of management tools, Workload
Manager provides automatic CPU resource allocation and application performance management based on
prioritized service-level objectives (SLOs). In addition, WLM allows administrators to set real memory and disk
bandwidth entitlements (guaranteed minimums) to fixed levels in the configuration. The use of workload groups and
SLOs improves response time for critical users, allows system consolidation, and helps manage user expectations for
performance. (Fee-based)

the unlikely event that none of the nPartitions are booted, the Management Processor can be accessed to power cycle
the server, view event logs and status logs, enable console redirection, and more. The Management Processor is
embedded into the server and does not take a PCI slot. And, because secure access to the Management Processor is
available through SSL encryption, customers can be confident that its powerful capabilities will be available only to
authorized administrators. New features that will be available include:
