HP Insight Management Agents 9.20 Managing ProLiant Servers with Linux HOW TO Whitepaper

HP ProLiant Channel Interface Device Driver for iLO/iLO 2/iLO 3/iLO 4
(hp-ilo)
The HP ProLiant Channel Interface Device Driver for iLO/iLO 2/iLO 3/iLO 4 (hp-ilo) enables
iLO data collection and integration with the ProLiant Management Agents and the rack infrastructure
interface service. The driver enables communication routing of SNMP traffic from the ProLiant
Management Agents through the dedicated iLO management NIC.
For documentation on Integrated Lights-Out that is supported by the iLO management interface
driver, see http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/remotemgmt.html. See
the QuickSpecs for each product to determine the servers and the operating systems supported.
HP System Management Homepage (hpsmh)
HP System Management Homepage is a web-based interface that consolidates and simplifies
single system management for HP servers that are running Linux operating systems. System
Management Homepage aggregates and displays data from Web Agents and other HP
Web-enabled System Management Software that includes HP Insight Diagnostics, the Array
Configuration Utility, and the HP Software Version Control Agents. System Management Homepage
enables IT administrators to view in-depth hardware configuration and status data, performance
metrics, system thresholds, diagnostics, and software version control information by using a single
intuitive interface. Additional information about Insight Management Agents is available at http://
h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/agents/index.html.
Customers without automatic monitoring tools can view status information for servers that have HP
System Management Homepage, previously called ProLiant Management Agents, installed via a
standard Web browser. HP System Management Homepage responds to port 2381, if the installed
browser supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. For example, point the browser to https://
192.1.1.20:2381 or https://localhost:2381 (the https:// portion of the address is required).
HP System Management Homepage allows you to view subsystem and status information from a
web browser, either locally or remotely.
TIP: To install HP System Management Homepage (hpsmh) you must be logged in as root. For
more information, see hpsmh Installation Guide located at http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/
docs/support/SupportManual/c01658588/c01658588.pdf .
HP System Management Homepage Templates (hp-smh-templates)
The information that hp-snmp-agents makes available through SNMP can be viewed in HP
System Management Homepage. HP System Management Homepage Templates
(hp-smh-templates) package provides the necessary files to link the SNMP data to HP System
Management Homepage. hp-snmp-agents and hpsmh are prerequisites for installing the
hp-smh-templates.
HP Systems Insight Manager
HP SIM combines the strengths of Insight Manager 7, HP Toptools, and HP Servicecontrol Manager
to deliver a single tool for managing HP ProLiant, HP Integrity, and HP 9000 systems running Linux
and other operating systems. The core HP SIM software uses Web-Based Enterprise Management
(WBEM) to deliver the essential capabilities required to manage all HP server platforms.
HP SIM can be extended to provide system management with plug-ins for HP clients, storage,
power, and printer products. Plug-in applications for workload management, capacity management,
virtual machine management, and partition management through the Integrity Essentials enable
you to pick the value-added software required to deliver complete life–cycle management for your
hardware assets.
