Using the Server Module for vCenter
After Insight Control for vCenter is installed, the HP Insight Management tab is added to the vSphere
Client. Insight Control for vCenter enables you to complete the following tasks when using HP
ProLiant servers and BladeSystem enclosures on the network:
•
Monitor health status
•
Manage server information
•
Manage and update firmware inventory
•
Alert and event forwarding from Onboard Administrator, HP SNMP agents, and HP CIM
providers to vCenter Server
Use Insight Control for vCenter to manage clusters and hosts remotely, manage system health and
configuration, optimize power usage, and for Virtual Connect networking. The administrator can
manage the system and monitor the Virtual Connect network, gather information about individual
HP ProLiant servers and BladeSystem enclosures or the infrastructure, and launch certain HP tools.
