HP SIM has been widely used in large-scale data centers for managing hundreds of HP systems through a single point of control. Its multi-system management capabilities, such as group operations and role-based management, enable customers to achieve optimal IT resource efficiency. Platform Computing's Clusterware is based on the industry distributed resource management solution, Load Sharing Facility (LSF), and is specially designed for cluster management and ease-ofuse for both system administrators and end-users.

Management Software and Head Node
The ability to manage and use a cluster as easily as a single compute system is critical to the
success of any cluster solution. To facilitate ease of use for both system administrators and
end-users, HP has created a software package called ClusterPack. The ClusterPack cluster
can be managed and used just as easily as a single server platform.
The ClusterPack is an integrated solution that offers the following key features:
Installation and configuration
automated cluster setup
network services setup (NFS, NTP, NIS, Ignite-UX)
remote power-on
network configuration
System administration
single point of administration
role-based management
software and patch management
user account maintenance
resource control
cluster health monitoring
cluster troubleshooting
cluster tuning
golden image creation and distribution
cluster reconfiguration
cluster system hardware and software inventory management
cluster server nodes consistency checking
Distributed resource management
cluster resource scheduling
policy based queues and multiple queue management
job submission, monitor, and control
user specified job priority
Application ReStart file migration
The ClusterPack integrates HP's enterprise system management solution, HP System Insight
Manager (HP SIM), and Platform Computing's Clusterware. HP SIM has been widely used
in large-scale data centers for managing hundreds of HP systems through a single point of
control. Its multi-system management capabilities, such as group operations and role-based
management, enable customers to achieve optimal IT resource efficiency. Platform
Computing's Clusterware is based on the industry distributed resource management solution,
Load Sharing Facility (LSF), and is specially designed for cluster management and ease-of-
use for both system administrators and end-users. ClusterPack is available on HP-UX 11i
