Insight Manager
Enclosed as an accessory with all StorageWorks arrays is HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM). HP SIM is
the foundation for HP's unified server-storage strategy -- it is packaged as a no-cost, customer installable
management application and is derived from the heritage of Compaq Insight Manager, HP Toptools,
and HP Servicecontrol. HP SIM runs on HP Windows, Linux, and HP-UX and provides discovery and
identification, fault management, security administration, asset reporting, and centralized configuration
management across heterogeneous servers, storage and infrastructure. HP SIM is easily extensible,
integrating other HP management products and value-add plug-ins such as the ProLiant Essentials,
Integrity Essentials, and Server Essentials.
HP SIM relies on industry standards like SMI-S, SNMP, SSH, WBEM, and WMI to detect and report
heterogeneous device attributes. HP SIM may also be configured to launch array specific applications for
configuration, reporting and replication. For more information on HP Systems Insight Manager see:

Consolidation
Heterogeneous and homogeneous host support provides the ability to share storage between multiple
servers. The EVA provides storage access control (i.e. Selective Storage Presentation or LUN masking)
assuring that a host cannot access data belonging to a different host. SAN-based zoning is also
supported.

Single-pathing (Single
HBA per host)
Single-pathing (or single HBA per host) support is provided for all supported operating systems (but may
be version dependent). Use of single-pathing, which does not offer a redundant path option, should be
used with care. Failure of the single HBA will result in loss of access for that host until the HBA is
replaced.
