Partition Manager creates and manages nPartitions-hard partitions for high end servers. Once the
partitions are created, the systems running on those partitions can be managed consistently with
all the other tools integrated into HP Systems Insight Manager. See "partitioning" for more
information.
HP-UX webmin based Admin is a Web based system management framework that allows a wide
variety of open source webmin system management modules to be plugged in. HP supports this
tool for the configuration of the HP-UX Apache based Web Server and the HP-UX Tomcat based
Servlet Engine.
HP-UX Bastille is a security hardening/lockdown tool that enhances the security of an HP-UX
UNIX® host. It accommodates the various degrees of hardening required of servers used for
webs, applications, and databases.
Security Patch Check performs analysis of file sets and patches installed on an HP-UX system and
then generate a report of recommended security patches. Use of the Security Patch Check
software tool can help efficiently improve system security.
Event Monitoring Service (EMS) keeps the administrator of multiple systems aware of system
operation throughout the cluster, and notifies the administrator of potential hardware or software
problems before they occur. HP Systems Insight Manager can launch the EMS interface and
configure EMS monitors for any node or node group that belongs to the cluster, resulting in
increased reliability and reduced downtime.

Racking

Racking The HP Integrity rx8640 Server was designed to provide industry leading performance density and
availability when ordered in a racked configuration. At 17 EIA units (29.75 inches), two HP Integrity
rx8640 servers can be mounted into a single HP rack two-meter cabinet with 7 or 8 EIA units of extra
space for mounting external peripherals. One rx8640 can be mounted in a rack along with a Server
Expansion Unit 2.
The HP Integrity rx8640 Server industrial design and packaging was designed to allow easy and quick
access to all of the system's components. The most frequently handled devices, removable media and
disks, are directly accessible at the system's front. By removing the front bezel, hot-swap fans, hot-swap
power supplies, and PCI power supplies can be completely serviced. At the rear, core I/O and more hot-
swap fans are directly accessible. For access to all other components, the rack-mounted HP Integrity
rx8640 Server comes with rack sliders.
These rack sliders enables the HP Integrity rx8640 Server to be slid forward out of the HP Rack cabinet
for servicing of internal components such as fans, cell boards, and I/O cards, while the system is still
running. The sliders also allows for servicing or replacement of any FRU (field replaceable unit) without
removing the chassis from the cabinet. The HP Integrity rx8640 Server industrial design and slider
strategy enables access and removal of any FRU within 15 minutes or less. This design feature minimizes
the downtime associated with system upgrades in the rare event of a component failure. Also included
with ever rack mounted HP Integrity rx8640 Server is a cable management arm (CMA). The CMA neatly
secures data cables and prevents cables from becoming entangled while servicing of the system.
The following racking rules apply for HP Integrity rx8640 servers configured with an HP Server Expansion
