HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM)
HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), which provides infrastructure management for all HP servers
and storage, now supports the NonStop platform via a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)
provided by OSM. HP SIM is capable of discovering NonStop systems, displaying and forwarding
alarms generated by OSM, and collecting system and device data. It is required for HP SIM plug-in
products, such as “HP Insight Remote Support Advanced” (page 39), “HP Insight Control Power
Management” (page 39), and NonStop Essentials products (see “Support for NonStop Essentials
Products” (page 9)).
As of H06.25 and J06.14, NonStop system consoles shipped with new system orders will have
HP SIM and the NonStop Software Essentials product pre-installed. NonStop Software Essentials
replaces the DSM/SCM Planner Interface, which is not supported on 64-bit system consoles
(including NSCs running Windows Server 2008).
Other sources of information regarding HP SIM include:
• Installing the HP SIM client – the NonStop System Console Installer kit includes a separate HP
Insight Control for NonStop DVD from which you can install HP SIM and various plug-in
products. For hardware and software requirements and installation information, see the
NonStop System Console Installer Guide and HP SIM for NonStop Manageability (located in
the NonStop Service Information collection of NTL).
• Configuration – After HP SIM and requisite OSM versions are installed, you must enable
secure sockets layer (SSL) in OSM (see “Configuring Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Support”
(page 22).
HP Insight Remote Support Advanced
HP Insight Remote Support Advanced is now the remote support solution of choice for NonStop
NS-series systems and NonStop BladeSystems, replacing the OSM Notification Director (both
modem-based and in conjunction with ISEE). As a plug-in to “HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM)”,
Insight Remote Support Advanced enhances HP SIM with intelligent event diagnosis and automatic,
secure submission of hardware event notifications to HP support, including acknowledgment and
status.
For more information on installing and using Insight Remote Support Advanced in the NonStop
environment, see Insight Remote Support Advanced for NonStop, located in the Support and
Service collection of NTL. When directed to by the migration procedure, you will be asked to add
parameters to your OSMCONF file, as described in “Configuring Insight Remote Support Advanced”
(page 29).
HP Insight Control Power Management
Insight Control Power Management is an “HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM)” plug-in that provides
the ability to visualize the layout of servers and devices in racks and data center floors, summarizing
temperature and power consumption. It provides the capability to monitor and manage power
capacity and utilization for blades and c-class enclosures and power delivery devices for data
centers. It also lets the user monitor inlet air temperature and 24-hour peak temperature for blades
and c-class enclosures. For HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystems, Insight Control Power Management
provides both power and thermal monitoring. It can also provide alerts on potential errors, lack
of redundancy and configuration anomalies. And, for NonStop BladeSystems NB56000c and
NB56000c-cg, as well as NonStop BladeSystems NB54000c and NB54000c-cg running J06.14
or later and OSM server SPR T0682ACZ or later, you can enable the Power Regulator feature to
provide centralized control of server power consumption. For more information, see HP SIM for
NonStop Manageability (located in the NonStop Service Information collection of NTL).
