Deploying management software
HP Insight Management is an integrated suite of software used to simplify provisioning and management of
your HP ProLiant SL4500 Series solution.
Use the wizard-based installer to configure and license HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and Insight
Management software rapidly and consistently, which reduces manual procedures and enables faster
production deployment of HP SL servers.
If previous chassis have been installed, it is not necessary to deploy the management software. New devices
are discovered and can be managed by the previously installed management system, version 7.x or later.
Before deploying the management software and creating provisioning policies, do the following:
•
Complete the installation checklist.
•
Be sure that the HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 Server, switches, and associated storage resources are
configured.
•
Verify that a supported operating system is installed. If the operating system has not been installed, see
the operating system installation documentation.
Launch Insight Management and use the installation wizard to deploy and configure HP SIM and Insight
Management software. After installation completes, log in to HP SIM using the credentials supplied during
the installation process.
