HP Array Configuration Utility – Command Line Interface

HP Array Configuration Utility – Command Line Interface (ACU-CLI) for Linux on Itanium-based
systems is an online tool that can be used to manage and configure Smart Array-based storage
controllers. The HP ACU-CLI is an interactive command console that provides immediate
feedback to the user, and is functionally equivalent to the ACU GUI.

OpenPegasus

OpenPegasus implements the WBEM standard to enable management solutions that deliver
increased control of enterprise resources. OpenPegasus is installed on your HP Integrity system
by default when WBEM providers or HP nPartitions commands are installed; OpenPegasus is
not installed as a standalone application.

OpenPegasus SDK is the software developers kit for the OpenPegasus product. It provides the
tools needed to develop Common Information Model (CIM) client applications and provides
modules for OpenPegasus.

NOTE:

You can download all current versions of OpenPegasus SDK from the Open Group

website:

Small Footprint CIM Broker

The Small Footprint CIM Broker (sfcb) is a CIM server conforming to the CIM Operations over
HTTP protocol. It supports the HP SMX WBEM providers that were developed in conjunction
with the Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI). The Small Footprint CIM
Broker provides access to the HP SMX WBEM providers and is installed on your HP Integrity
system by default when WBEM providers are installed on SLES 11. It is not installed as a
standalone application.

NOTE:

The sblim-sfcb RPM is not included in the support pack, however it is delivered

with the SLES11 distribution.

HP Utilization Provider Including WBEM

HP Utilization Provider provides a light-weight daemon, utild, that records system-utilization
data on a five-minute interval. System-utilization data includes CPU utilization, memory
utilization, disk utilization, and network utilization. The HP Utilization Provider includes the
WBEM provider, which provides access to the utilization data. The Virtual Server Environment
(VSE) Management Software relies on the HP Utilization Provider. Removing HP Utilization
Provider prevents the VSE Management Software from functioning properly.

When HP Utilization Provider is installed, it launches the utild daemon, which consumes
minimal CPU, memory, and disk resources. Only 30 days of utilization data are kept in data files
in /var/adm/util. The total disk space used by these files should not exceed 20MB in the
default installation. The utild process wakes up every five minutes and discovers and records
four metrics (CPU, memory, disk, and network utilization); this discovery process has minimal
impact on system performance.
