HP ProLiant Linux Management Pack (v 3.1) for Microsoft System Center User Guide

Group Diagram view
The Group Diagram view in the HP Systems folder provides a graphical display of all groups, all
associated HP servers, and all subsystems (collections). For each diagram, you can expand each
icon node to view the next level of information.
For example, you can find the HP Linux servers by expanding the HP Servers Group, then the HP
ProLiant Monitored Server Group, and then the HP Linux Group.
The Group Diagram view shows only those servers that are members of the selected group.
For example, the Group Diagram view for the HP Linux Servers group shows only discovered
ProLiant servers running supported versions of the Linux operating system software.

Predefined tasks
This management pack includes predefined tasks that can be used to access in-depth HP server
information, carry out advanced remote server administration, and perform lifecycle management
on multiple servers. HP tasks appear in the Actions pane from an associated class instance. Not
all tasks appear in every view because tasks are associated with specific classes.
This management pack includes the following tasks:
• HP Device Monitor Console (see “Launching the HP Device Monitor Console” (page 9))
• HP Integrated Lights-Out (see “Launching HP Integrated Lights-Out for a failed subsystem”
(page 9))
• HP System Management Homepage (see “Launching the HP System Management Homepage
task” (page 9))
Security for HP tasks
Security settings are required to run HP tasks properly:
• For console tasks that launch an external tool that communicates with the DMS, such as the
DMC, the interface carries current user credentials to verify access to resources on the system
where the DMS is running. Only Local or Domain Administrators can access the interface.
• Console tasks that launch an external tool that does not communicate with the Operations
Manager interface, such as HP Integrated Lights-Out, are launched locally using the current
user's credentials. The password validation process prompts asks for individual login
information. The tools depend on the user's credentials and the security management of the
tool.
