•
Integrated Lights Out (iLO)
•
Onboard Administrator (OA)
•

VCEM.

HP System Insight Manager (HPSIM)
•
Insight Power Manager (IPM)
•
HP storage system management utilities

HP OneView (vSphere Web Client only). This link is displayed if the selected host is managed
by HP OneView. If a selected cluster contains hosts managed by HP OneView, this link will
be displayed at the cluster level also. If the cluster includes hosts managed by separate instances
