The iLO firmware performs server monitoring tasks. Therefore, no operating system resources are used to run management agents.

The HP ACU is a web-based application that helps you configure HP ProLiant SMART-2 Array Controllers, HP ProLiant Smart Array Controllers, HP ProLiant Integrated Smart Array Controllers, and HP ProLiant StorageWorks RAID Array Controllers.

You can use the ACU for several tasks such as initially configuring the array controller, adding disk drives to an existing configuration, or reconfiguring your array controller.

VCA enables management of the HP ProLiant software and firmware on the system, in conjunction with HP VCRM.

HP Insight Management Agents help IT administrators rapidly respond to potential and actual system failures, increase system stability, reduce troubleshooting complexity, and minimize downtime by providing predictive fault management.

Health provides system management support, including monitoring of server components, event logging, and support for the HP Insight Management Agents.

The HP Insight Diagnostics utility allows you to view critical computer hardware and software configuration information from various sources, saving it as a history of multiple sessions.

Running the utility enables you to resolve server issues without taking the server offline, maximizing server availability. Insight Diagnostics includes a web browser interface in addition to the command-line interface in an online mode. This feature enables remote control of the utility and facilitates easy transfer of configuration information from remote machines to a service provider.

HP Insight Providers include server, storage, and network providers as well as WMI-based SMH.

These providers are all packaged in a single Smart Component, which is included with the Windows PSP. This feature enables you to install, uninstall, and update the Insight Providers as a single entity.

The HP Insight Management WBEM Providers supply system management data through the WMI framework for HP ProLiant server platforms and options.

SMH is a web-based interface that consolidates and simplifies single system management for HP servers running the HP-UX, Linux, and Windows operating systems. HP SMH aggregates and displays data from Web Agents and other HP Web-enabled System Management Software that includes:

•HP Insight Diagnostics

•Array Configuration Utility

•HP Software Version Control Agents
