The Cost Advantage value is calculated as follows:
Cost Advantage = (number of hours the server was down) × (power cost) × (average power)
Entering the Power Cost will only calculate the Cost Advantage if all of the requirements in this section are applicable for the cluster. If the requirements are not met by the cluster, the cost advantage is always zero.
Managing clusters
To access the overview summary for the cluster level, select a cluster in the inventory tree, and then select the HP Insight Software tab if necessary. The Summary appears automatically (Figure 7 (page 24)).
Figure 7 Cluster management summary screen
The Overview screen for Cluster Management displays the Health Summary for all HP ProLiant and BladeSystem servers in the cluster. Use this screen to view the number of servers in the cluster and the health status from iLO, Onboard Administrator, HP SNMP agents, HP CIM providers, and Virtual Connect Manager for each server in the cluster.
If the Storage Module for vCenter is installed, the Overview page includes a link to the array management software for configured arrays (if available), and the array health status information.
Depending on the information located on each tab, links may be available for the following:
•HP SIM
•Onboard Administrator
•iLO Remote Management
•HP Insight Control power management
•Virtual Connect Manager
NOTE: With the exception of Virtual Connect Manager, administrators can launch tools without providing log in credentials.
