Security
• Role-based security
HP SIM enables effective delegation of management responsibilities by giving system
administrators granular control over which users can perform specific management operations
on specific systems.
• Configure or Repair Agents
This feature enables you to repair credentials for SNMP settings, HP System Management
Homepage, or Management HTTP Server trust relationships on Windows, Linux, and HP-UX
systems supported by HP SIM. See “Configuring managed systems from a Windows CMS”
(page 349) for more information.
Installation
• Easy and rapid installation.
You can install HP SIM quickly and easily, on HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, or HP-UX 11i v3
on PA-RISC/Integrity server platforms, or on ProLiant platforms running Windows or Linux.
• First Time Wizard
HP SIM provides you with step-by-step, online instructions for performing the initial configuration
of HP SIM. The wizard helps you configure basic HP SIM settings on the CMS.
Discovery
HP SIM can automatically discover and identify systems attached to the network. Discovery filters
enable you to limit discovery to specific network segments or IP address ranges. Use discovery
filters to prevent discovery of unwanted system types.
Custom tools
HP SIM defines tools using simple XML documents that enable you to integrate off-the-shelf or custom
tools. These tools can be command line tools, web-based applications, or scripts. Role-based
security governs access to these integrated tools.
Reporting
• Data collection and inventory reports
HP SIM performs comprehensive system data collection and enables you to quickly produce
detailed inventory reports for managed systems. Reports can be generated in HTML, XML, or
CSV format. Data collection and reporting has been added for HP Superdome systems and
other cellular complexes. You can collect information about:
◦ Enclosures
◦ Cabinets
◦ Cell Blade
◦ Memory
◦ Fan and Power
◦ Integrity virtual machines
