Manager enables these tasks to be distributed to multiple systems and delegated using role based security.
HP-UX Kernel Configuration

HP-UX Kernel Configuration

HP-UX Kernel Configuration-for self optimizing kernel changes. The new HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool
allows users to tune both dynamic and static kernel parameters quickly and easily from a Web based GUI to
optimize system performance. This tool also sets kernel parameter alarms that notify you when system usage levels
exceed thresholds.
Partition Manager

Partition Manager

Partition Manager creates and manages nPartitions-hard partitions for high end servers. Once the partitions are
created, the systems running on those partitions can be managed consistently with all the other tools integrated into
Servicecontrol Manager. Key features include:

Easy-to-use, familiar graphical user interface.
Runs locally on a partition, or remotely. The Partition Manager application can be run remotely on any
system running HP-UX 11i Version 2 and eventually select Windows releases and remotely manage a
complex either by 1) communicating with a booted OS on an nPartition in the target complex via WBEM, or
2) communicating with the service processor in the target complex via IPMI over LAN. The latter is especially
significant because a complex can be managed with NONE of the nPartitions booted.
Full support for creating, modifying, and deleting hardware partitions.
Automatic detection of configuration and hardware problems.
Ability to view and print hardware inventory and status.
Big picture views that allow system administrators to graphically view the resources in a server and the
partitions that the resources are assigned to.
Complete interface for the addition and replacement of PCI devices.
Comprehensive online help system.

Security Patch Check

Security Patch Check determines how current a systems security patches are, recommends patches for continuing
security vulnerabilities and warns administrators about recalled patches still present on the system.
System Inventory Manager

System Inventory Manager

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 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.
Process Resource Manager (PRM)

Process Resource Manager (PRM)

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. (fee based)
HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM)

HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM)

HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM) A key differentiator in the HP-UX family of management tools, Workload
Manager 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. (Fee based)
HP's Management Processor

HP's Management Processor

HP's Management Processor enables remote server management over the Web regardless of the system state. In
the unlikely event that none of the nPartitions are booted, the Management Processor can be accessed to power
cycle the server, view event logs and status logs, enable console redirection, and more. The Management Processor
is embedded into the server and does not take a PCI slot. And, because secure access to the Management Processor
is available through SSL encryption, customers can be confident that its powerful capabilities will be available only
to authorized administrators. New features that will be available include:

Support for Web Console that provides secure text mode access to the management processor
Reporting of error events from system firmware.
Ability to trigger the task of PCI OL* from the management processor.
Ability to scan a cell board while the system is running. (only available for partitionable systems)
Implementation of management processor commands for security across partitions so that partitions do not
modify system configuration (only available for partitionable systems).

OpenView Operations Agent

OpenView Operations Agent-collects and correlates OS and application events (fee based)
OpenView Performance Agent

OpenView Performance Agent

OpenView Performance Agent-determines OS and application performance trends (fee based)
OpenView GlancePlus

OpenView GlancePlus

OpenView GlancePlus-shows real time OS and application availability and performance data to diagnose
problems (fee based)
OpenView Data Protector (Omniback II)

OpenView Data Protector (Omniback II)

OpenView Data Protector (Omniback II)-backs up and recovers data (fee based)

In addition, the Network Node Manager (NNM) management station will run on HP-UX Itanium 2 based servers. NNM
automatically discovers, draws (maps), and monitors networks and the systems connected to them.
