The data that is collected is managed according to the HP Data Privacy policy. For more information see the

HP website (

).

The Active Health System log, in conjunction with the system monitoring provided by Agentless Management

or SNMP Pass-thru, provides continuous monitoring of hardware and configuration changes, system status,

and service alerts for various server components.

The Agentless Management Service is available in the SPP, which is a disk image (.iso) that you can

download from the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download

). The Active Health System log can

be downloaded manually from iLO or HP Intelligent Provisioning and sent to HP.

For more information, see the following documents:

Integrated Management Log

The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each event

with 1-minute granularity.

You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:

•

From within HP SIM

•

From within operating system-specific IML viewers

o

For Windows: IML Viewer

o

For Linux: IML Viewer Application

•

From within the iLO user interface

•

From within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page

)

Intelligent Provisioning

Several packaging changes have taken place with HP ProLiant Gen8 servers: SmartStart CDs and the Smart

Update Firmware DVD no longer ship with these new nodes. Instead, the deployment capability is

embedded in the node as part of Intelligent Provisioning.

Intelligent Provisioning is a single-server deployment tool embedded in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers that

simplifies HP ProLiant server setup, providing a reliable and consistent way to deploy HP ProLiant server

configurations:

•

Intelligent Provisioning assists with the OS installation process by preparing the system for installing

"off-the-shelf" and HP branded versions of leading operating system software and integrating optimized

HP ProLiant server support software.

•

Intelligent Provisioning provides maintenance-related tasks through Perform Maintenance Options

features.

•

Intelligent Provisioning provides installation help for Microsoft Windows, Red Hat and SUSE Linux, and

VMware operating systems. For specific OS support, see the

HP Intelligent Provisioning Release Notes

on the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/go/intelligentprovisioning/docs

).
