HP System Management Homepage

The HP System Management Homepage (SMH) is a web server that can be used by HP web-enabled system management software. The System Management Homepage provides an interface between the HP Insight Management Agents and the HP manageability tools. The HP System Management Homepage software organizes data from HP Insight Management Agents installed on a server into easy-to-read tables that are displayed in a web interface.

HP Insight Management WBEM Providers

The HP Insight Management WBEM Providers are a manageability framework for HP Proliant and HP Integrity servers using Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) and the Common Information Model (CIM). The SMX providers are designed to run on HP servers and provide complete manageability as defined by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) and the HP WBEM Technical Committee (TC).

HP WBEM Providers for Linux

WBEM is a Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) standard that uses Internet technologies, such as XML, HTTP, and SSL, to manage systems. HP WBEM Providers for Linux allows management applications such as HP Systems Insight Management to retrieve, monitor, and configure system information. HP WBEM Providers are the instruments that provide system data for the management application.

HP Partition Manager

HP Partition Manager provides you with a convenient GUI to configure and manage nPartitions on HP servers. Using HP Partition Manager, you can perform complex configuration tasks without having to remember commands and parameters. You select nPartitions, cells, I/O chassis, or other components from the graphical display, and then select an action from a menu. HP Partition Manager is installed on your HP Integrity system by default when HP nPartitions commands are installed; HP Partition Manager is not installed as a standalone application.

You can use HP Partition Manager to perform the following tasks: create, modify, and delete nPartitions, examine the nPartition configuration of a complex (all of hardware within a server—including all cells, I/O chassis, cables, cabinet hardware, and power and utilities components), check the complex for potential configuration and hardware problems, and manage hardware resources on the complex.

IMPORTANT: Before installing HP Partition Manager, you must download and install the Sun JDK 6 or BEA JRockit 5.0. For the JDK installation details, see “Product Installation Dependencies” (page 44).

HP nPartition Commands

HP nPartition Commands enable you to create, modify, and delete nPartitions on HP nPartition servers, including HP Integrity servers such as the Superdome, rx8640, rx8620, rx7640, and rx7620 servers. The manpages for these commands are also installed.
