The Cost Advantage value is calculated as follows:

Cost Advantage = (number of hours the server was down) × (power cost) × (average power)

Entering the Power Cost will only calculate the Cost Advantage if all of the requirements in this
section are applicable for the cluster. If the requirements are not met by the cluster, the cost
advantage is always zero.

Managing clusters

To access the overview summary for the cluster level, select a cluster in the inventory tree, and then
select the HP Insight Software tab if necessary. The Summary appears automatically (

The Overview screen for Cluster Management displays the Health Summary for all HP ProLiant and
BladeSystem servers in the cluster. Use this screen to view the number of servers in the cluster and
the health status from iLO, Onboard Administrator, HP SNMP agents, HP CIM providers, and
Virtual Connect Manager for each server in the cluster.

If the Storage Module for vCenter is installed, the Overview page includes a link to the array
management software for configured arrays (if available), and the array health status information.

Depending on the information located on each tab, links may be available for the following:
