Web-Based Enterprise Service

WEBES enables administrators to manage hardware events proactively, either locally or online. The

service provides real-time multiple event analysis, crash analysis, and notification, locally through SMTP

and remotely through ISEE for OpenVMS, Tru64, and Microsoft® Windows® operating system binary

error logs.
For more information, refer to the HP website (

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/svctools/

).

Open Services Event Manager

OSEM is a standalone tool that performs real-time reactive and proactive service event filtering, analysis,

and notification. The tool gathers event data from SNMP traps or information provided over an HTTP

interface and notifies an administrator or HP through SMTP and ISEE.
For more information, refer to the HP website (

Keeping the system current

Drivers

The server includes new hardware that may not have driver support on all operating system installation

media.
If you are installing a SmartStart-supported operating system, use the SmartStart software (on page

65

)

and its Assisted Path feature to install the operating system and latest driver support.

NOTE: If you are installing drivers from the SmartStart CD or the Software Maintenance CD, refer to the

SmartStart website (

http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart

) to be sure that you are using the latest version

of SmartStart. For more information, refer to the documentation provided with the SmartStart CD.

If you do not use the SmartStart CD to install an operating system, drivers for some of the new hardware

are required. These drivers, as well as other option drivers, ROM images, and value-add software can be

downloaded from the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/support

).

IMPORTANT: Always perform a backup before installing or updating device drivers.

Resource Paqs

Resource Paqs are operating system-specific packages of tools, utilities, and information for HP servers

running certain Microsoft® or Novell operating systems. The Resource Paqs include utilities to monitor

performance, software drivers, customer support information, and white papers on the latest server

integration information. Refer to the Enterprise Partnerships website

(

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/partners

), select Microsoft or Novell, depending on the operating

system, and follow the link to the appropriate Resource Paq.

ProLiant Support Packs

agents. Refer to the PSP website
