Management Agents Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and thirdparty SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/manage). HP ProLiant Essentials Virtualization Management Software The ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack and ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack plug-ins extend HP Systems Insight Manager capabilities to manage virtual machines. The Virtual Machine Management Pack provides the following functionality: • Central management and control of VMware® and Microsoft® virtual machines with physical host to virtual machine association • Easy identification of VMs or host servers reaching high CPU, memory, or disk utilization levels • Highly flexible move capabilities that enable live moves and moves to dissimilar host resources • Back up, template, and alternate host capabilities that enable restoration of VMs on any available host The Server Migration Pack automates the manual processes required for migrating servers between physical or virtual platforms (P2V, V2P, and V2V), enabling easy migration to appropriate physical or virtual platforms that meet performance and capacity requirements. For more information about virtualization management software, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/vmmanage). HP ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack The HP ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack software extends the functionality of HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to provide vulnerability and patch management for target systems. The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack is an all-in-one vulnerability assessment and patch management tool. It enables you to gain the upper hand in the war against hackers, worms, and Trojan software that exploit software security vulnerabilities by: • Enhancing system lifecycle management by incorporating vulnerability assessment and patching as integral parts of the system management process. • Accelerating resolution of vulnerabilities by reducing the research time to understand the criticality of the vulnerability and the expected behavior for patches and fixes. • Reducing the risk of security threats by automating the acquisition, scheduling the deployment, and ensuring that the patches remain in place continuously enforcing the persistence (desired state) of patches. The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack and HP SIM can be installed on a single server (referred to as a shared configuration) or on a separate server (referred to as a distributed configuration).
