Software Deployment and Management Features HP offers an extensive set of features and optional tools to support effective software deployment and management. For more information about the following, see Deployment and Management on page 35. ● HP PC Blade Enclosure Integrated Administrator The HP PC Blade Enclosure Integrated Administrator is a centralized management and monitoring system for the HP PC BL Enclosure and blade PCs. The Integrated Administrator acts as a combination terminal server and remote power controller, enabling out-of-band, secure, serial console connections to all blade PCs in the enclosure. ● Computer Setup (F10) Utility Computer Setup performs a wide range of configuration activities and provides access to numerous settings, including those for system devices, security, storage, and boot order. ● HP Rapid Deployment Pack HP Rapid Deployment Pack features include: ◦ A graphical deployment console which provides intuitive drag-and-drop events, such as scripts and images, to deploy the operating systems and applications on any combination of blade PCs installed in the enclosures ◦ Simultaneous deployment of multiple blade PCs ◦ Advanced features that can detect and display blade PCs based on their physical rack, enclosure, and bay locations ◦ The ability to set the deployment console to automatically install pre-defined configurations on newly-installed blade PCs For more information about HP Rapid Deployment Pack, refer to your authorized reseller or visit the HP Web site: http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp. ● HP Systems Insight Manager HP Systems Insight Manager provides in-depth fault, inventory, and configuration management of HP server platforms (including hundreds of blade PCs) from a single console. ● Automated System Recovery (ASR) ASR is a diagnostic/recovery feature that automatically restarts the blade PC in the event of a critical operating system failure. ● Enclosure Self Recovery (ESR) ESR, similar to ASR, is a self-monitoring reliability feature of the Integrated Administrator. If the Integrated Administrator does not boot or hangs during operation, ESR automatically resets the Integrated Administrator for an attempted self-recovery. The blade PCs and interconnect tray are not affected by ESR. ● Integrated Management Log (IML) The IML provides a detailed log of key system events. This log, which also monitors the health log, is accessible by utilities, including HP Systems Insight Manager. ENWW Software Deployment and Management Features 9
