information about Integrity VM resources through Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)
providers installed on the VM Host.
You can access VM Manager using either of two Web-based software components:
• HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH)
VM Manager is installed separately on any given VM Host to manage the Integrity VM Host
and virtual machines. You access VM Manager from a browser that can connect over the
network to that VM Host. Figure 1-1 shows how VM Manager is configured and used with
HP SMH.

• HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM)
VM Manager is installed as part of the Virtual Server Environment (VSE) Management
Software that runs under HP SIM on a server reserved for use as a central management
server (CMS). You access VM Manager from a browser that can connect over the network
to the CMS. The CMS allows you to manage multiple Integrity VMs (VM Hosts and each of
their virtual machines) that are discovered by HP SIM. Figure 1-2 shows how VM Manager
is configured and used with VSE and HP SIM.
