Using HP Insight Control for Linux to Manage HP ProLiant DL785 G6 Servers running Oracle VM

Figure 1. Configuration with Oracle VM and HP IC-Linux for HP ProLiant DL785 G6

The following are the main components of this configuration:

• Central Management Server (CMS)

The Central Management Server (CMS) is an HP ProLiant system that runs HP IC-Linux and Oracle

VM Manager. HP IC-Linux performs Oracle VM Server deployment, firmware management, power

management, host and guest performance monitoring, and other IC-Linux functions to manage the

HP ProLiant Server. HP IC-Linux also deploys the monitoring agents that enable performance and

health management of the managed servers and their guests.

HP IC-Linux supports CMS operation on HP ProLiant Blade-, Rack-, and Scalable servers (BL-, DL-,

and SL-series servers). Systems supported include HP BladeSystems (c7000 and c3000), HP Rack

servers (DL1000, DL785, DL500s, DL300s, DL180s, and DL160s), and Scalable servers (SL6000).
