HP Systems Insight Manager 7.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for Microsoft Windows

HP Insight Control
power
management
An integrated power monitoring and management application that provides centralized control
of server power consumption and thermal output at the datacenter level. It extends the capacity
of datacenters by enabling the user to control the amount of power and cooling required for
ProLiant servers. Built on ProLiant Power Regulator Technology, it extends new server energy
instrumentation levers into HP Systems Insight Manager for greater Unified Infrastructure
Management.
HP Insight Control
server deployment
The HP Insight Control server deployment is a multiserver deployment tool that enables IT
administrators to easily deploy large numbers of servers in an unattended, automated fashion.
The server deployment is installed separately from HP SIM. It requires a license for each server
managed. You must register your server deployment product to purchase licenses or obtain a
10-node 30-day license before installing server deployment (a 10-node 7-day evaluation license
is built into the software). The server deployment is installed from its own DVD. See http://
www.hp.com/servers/rdp for information about server deployment including a link to obtain
evaluation licenses or register your product. See the server deployment documentation for network
environment setup, prerequisites for the deployment server, and installation instructions.
HP Insight Control
server provisioning
HP Insight Control includes the rights for HP Insight Control server provisioning, which is a new
feature replacing HP Insight Control server deployment. HP Insight Control server provisioning
performs multi-server operating system provisioning to bare metal ProLiant and BladeSystem
servers. You can download the HP Insight Control server provisioning installation instructions from
http://www.hp.com/go/insightupdates.
IC server deployment is still available on the DVD, and can be used for upgrade purposes.
However, IC server deployment software license will no longer be included with the sale of Insight
Control. Insight Control customers wanting a new IC server deployment license will be required
to purchase a standalone Insight Control server deployment license.
HP Insight Remote
Support
The HP Insight Remote Support provides proactive remote monitoring, diagnostics, and
troubleshooting to help improve the availability of HP-supported servers and storage devices in
your data center. The Insight Remote Support reduces cost and complexity in support of systems
and devices. The Insight Remote Support securely communicates incident information through
your firewall and/or Web proxy to the HP Support Center for reactive support. Additionally,
based on your support agreement, system information can be collected for proactive analysis
and services.

identification While discovery finds systems, identification attempts to determine what the system type is. In
addition, it determines what management protocol a system supports, using credentials from the
Global Protocol Settings page, and attempts to determine the operating system and version loaded,
along with other basic attributes about the system. Finally, it determines if the system is associated
with another system. For example, a management processor in a server.
