StorageWorks library and tape tools

HP StorageWorks L&TT provides functionality for firmware downloads, verification of device operation,

maintenance procedures, failure analysis, corrective service actions, and some utility functions. It also

provides seamless integration with HP hardware support by generating and emailing support tickets that
deliver a snapshot of the storage system.
For more information, and to download the utility, refer to the StorageWorks L&TT website

).

HP Systems Insight Manager

HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative

tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities

that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.

IMPORTANT:

You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for

processors, SAS and SCSI hard drives, and memory modules.

For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or

the HP SIM website (

).

Management Agents

Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration

management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and third-

party SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted
installation or can be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status

and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management

Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation

Pack or the HP website (

).

Redundant ROM support

The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server

has a 4-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 2-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the
ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup

version.

NOTE:

The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.
