IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for
processors, SAS and SATA hard drives, and memory modules.
For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or
the HP SIM website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim
).
Management Agents
Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration
management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and third-
party SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted
installation or can be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status
and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management
Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation
Pack or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/manage
).
HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant
The HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant (SMP) enables administrators to upgrade or replace
an existing server through server migration. SMP provides an automated, accurate, and affordable
method of migrating existing servers and their content to the latest server technologies.
SMP automates the migration of the operating system, applications, and data from one server to another
without errors, eliminating the need for manual redeployment of these elements on the new server. During
the migration process, the software automatically loads new drivers, required for boot, on the destination
server. The wizard-based user interface simplifies the migration process and requires little experience or
training.
For more information about the SMP, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/migrate
).
Redundant ROM support
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server
has a 8-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 4-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the
ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup
version.
NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.
Safety and security benefits
When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a
backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted
for any reason. This feature protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure
while flashing the ROM.
