Introduction
Overview
The HP Insight Integration for CA Unicenter simplifies system management by integrating the discovery
and management of HP ProLiant, AlphaServer, and Integrity servers into the Unicenter NSM application.
The Insight Integration is a scalable solution that works directly with native Unicenter applications,
including WorldView, Enterprise Console, and the Unicenter Agent Technology to monitor HP servers,
clients, and storage that use Unicenter as the primary management console. With the Insight Integration,
you can manage events for HP hardware and other enterprise resources from a common Unicenter
interface.
Additional in-depth data for HP hardware is available through integrated menu items that enable access
the HP System Management Homepage, HP Systems Insight Manager, and HP RILOE and iLO
management tools.
