• Security Patch Check determines how current a system’s security patches are, recommends patches
for continuing security vulnerabilities, and warns administrators about recalled patches still present
on the system.
• System Inventory Manager is for change and asset management. It allows you to easily collect,
store, and manage inventory and configuration information for HP-UX–based servers. It provides an
easy-to-use, Web-based interface, superior performance, and comprehensive reporting capabilities.
• Event Monitoring Service (EMS) keeps the administrator of multiple systems aware of system
operation throughout the cluster, and it notifies the administrator of potential hardware or software
problems before they occur. HP Servicecontrol Manager can launch the EMS interface and
configure EMS monitors for any node or node group that belongs to the cluster, resulting in
increased reliability and reduced downtime.
• Management Processor enables remote server management over the Web, regardless of the system
state. In the unlikely event that the operating system is not running, the Management Processor can
be accessed to power cycle the server, view event and status logs, enable console redirection, and
more. The Management Processor is embedded into the server and does not take a PCI-X slot.
• Process Resource Manager (PRM) controls the resources that processes use during peak system load.
PRM can manage the allocation of CPU, memory resources, and disk bandwidth. It allows
administrators to run multiple mission-critical applications on a single system, improve response time
for critical users and applications, allocate resources on shared servers based on departmental
budget contributions, provide applications with total resource isolation, and dynamically change
configuration at any time—even under load.
• HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM) provides automatic CPU resource allocation and application
performance management based on prioritized service-level objectives (SLOs). In addition, WLM
allows administrators to set real memory and disk bandwidth entitlements (guaranteed minimums) to
fixed levels in the configuration. The use of workload groups and SLOs improves response time for
critical users, allows system consolidation, and helps manage user expectations for performance.
• OpenView Operations Agent provides a fully integrated, single-pane-of-glass management solution
for systems, networks, applications, and databases. A powerful ability to monitor, filter, correlate,
and respond to events enables IT organizations to establish central management control over their
managed environments and improve overall availability and reliability.
• OpenView Performance Agent monitors and analyzes the performance of systems and applications
to compare service-level objectives with actual application performance, and it enables real-time
performance monitoring as well as action on alarm.
• OpenView Glanceplus is a powerful system monitoring and diagnostic tool that provides online
performance information, examination of system activities, identification and resolution of
performance bottlenecks, and system fine-tuning.
• OpenView Data Protector (Omniback II) provides reliable, high-performance data protection for
enterprise-wide heterogeneous environments without impacting system or application performance.
It centralizes and automates backup and recovery operations and tracks file versions and media to
enable swift recovery of information.
• OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) management station runs on Itanium 2–based HP-UX
servers. NNM provides a powerful network management solution that includes concise, in-depth
views of network devices and their status in an intuitive graphical format. NNM helps network
managers evaluate network performance, pinpoint problem sources, and proactively manage their
networks and network availability.
All other HP OpenView management tools, such as OpenView Operations, Service Desk, and Service
Reporter, will be able to collect and process information from the agents running on Integrity servers
with HP-UX.
