Partition Manager overview
Partition Manager provides system administrators with a convenient graphical user interface to configure
and manage nPartitions on HP server systems. Using Partition Manager, you can perform complex
configuration tasks without needing to remember commands and parameters. You select nPartitions, cells,
I/O chassis, or other components from the graphical display, then select an action from a menu.
With HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), you can perform the following tasks:
• Modify nPartitions
• View and modify nPartitions

Depending on the version of Partition Manager that you are running, you can access it in HP SIM from the
Tools→Partition Manager menu or the Configure→Partition Management menu.

Security Patch Check overview
Security Patch Check is a tool that analyzes the currency of a system with respect to security bulletins. It
recommends actions for security vulnerabilities that have not been fixed by previously performed patches,
updates, removals, or, where logged by the user, manual actions. The actions might include updates, software
removals, or manual actions. Use of the Security Patch Check software tool can help efficiently improve
system security but does not guarantee system security.
Security Patch Check performs the following functions:
▲ Generates a report of recommended security actions that are applicable and not installed or applied
Helps automate the process of checking for security patches, updates, or manual actions missing from
a system
Warns about patches with warnings that are present on the system being analyzed
Integrates with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) by enabling you to get the patch catalog and to
run Security Patch Check
To access the Security Patch Check features within HP SIM, select Configure→Security.
HP Serviceguard Manager overview
HP Serviceguard Manager is a graphical user interface that provides configuration, status-monitoring, and
administration of high availability clusters created by HP Serviceguard. The Serviceguard Manager
management station can be an HP-UX, Linux, or Windows system. Using Serviceguard Manager, you can
view the status of all the clusters on your network through color-coded icons. From this high-level perspective,
you can drill down and proactively manage specific clusters, nodes, and packages.
Serviceguard clusters are identified and associated through SNMP and provide a mechanism to view cluster
information by running HP Serviceguard Manager if it is registered with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP
SIM).
