How to run the tool
HP Systems Insight
Manager (HP SIM)
HP SIM provides comprehensive management of
ProLiant BL30p server blades, maximizing system
availability and optimizing IT staff efficiency.
HP SIM allows systems administrators to quickly
identify hardware failures, isolate and update
systems running out-of-date system software, and
easily access onboard management resources. In
addition, HP SIM version 4.1 and above provides
visualization support for ProLiant BL30p server
blades that allows you to quickly view the
configuration of the server blades within a server
blade enclosure and speeds access to the
HP Insight Management Agents, Version Control
Agents, and iLO remote console.
For more information on viewing
and printing the event list, refer to
the
HP Systems Insight Manager
User Guide
or the setup and
installation guide.

software information on server blades.
If a significant change occurs between
data-gathering intervals, the Survey Utility marks

text files to reflect the latest changes in the
configuration.

Deployment Pack CD or on the
