Integrated Infrastructure management

HP Insight Control suite for Linux (HP IC-Linux), integrated with the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) software platform running on a Linux distribution, provides a unified, secure and extensible platform to centrally manage servers, storage and other infrastructure devices in a Linux multi-server environment.

HP SIM provides core management services that include device discovery and identification, event views, health monitoring, inventory data collection, alerts, and reporting. HP SIM is built on industry standards and is extensible with value-added Insight software and essential management software as well as with custom applications and scripts to meet individual management needs.

HP IC-Linux provides flexibility to monitor, manage, and deploy software to various types of managed systems:

Systems that are new (i.e. 'bare metal')- the systems do not have an operating system installed and are not known to HP SIM,
Systems that have a Linux operating system installed but are not known to HP SIM, and
Systems that have a supported Linux operating system installed and are known to HP SIM.

Insight Control remote management

HP Insight Control for Linux (IC-Linux) uses HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO2) Advanced software to provide remote access and server control from a distance. Comprehensive, cost-effective Lights-Out management upgrades are provided for ProLiant servers that are managed using the iLO2 Standard remote consoles. HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 Advanced complements standard iLO2 capabilities with additional features that enable full remote control and remote access of your ProLiant servers in routine and emergency situations. HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 Advanced also includes remote console collaboration and replay of BIOS and POST (pre-OS) screens, enterprise security, virtual media and virtual folders, and power management functionality.

Insight Control
power management

HP Insight Control for Linux (HP IC-Linux) delivers precise power and thermal measurement and reporting for HP ProLiant ML/DL 300 and 500 series and HP ProLiant BladeSystem Infrastructure. Power capping functionality complements existing power regulation technology by allowing customers to limit power usage at a particular wattage or at a percentage of a server's maximum power rating. New Dynamic Power Capping capabilities increase the number of servers that can be deployed per circuit by as much as 36%. Dynamic Power Capping for single servers allows you to safely reclaim unused power and cooling capacity by limiting power usage without risk of performance degradation or circuit over-subscription. In BladeSystem enclosures the power budget can be dynamically shared across multiple ProLiant BL servers for additional savings. Power management alerts help you optimize Dynamic Power Capping settings by informing you when power caps have been reached at the server or enclosure level. These capabilities ensure that data center staff and IT managers have the information they need to optimize server density within existing power and cooling constraints and to ensure efficient use of power resources.

The HP Insight Power Manager software is supported on a select group of ProLiant servers that ship with the iLO2 management processor. For more information on supported servers, please reference the HP Insight Power Manager Quick Specs at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12623_div/12623_div.html

NOTE: The power management capability will not function for HP ProLiant DL 785 G5 servers.

Insight Control health & performance management

HP Insight Control for Linux integrates an advanced set of health and performance management tools for controlling issues in your business-important x86 infrastructure. Extensive capabilities --which provide status, events, histories, thresholds, graphs, notifications, alerts, and reporting-- are designed to scale for large environments. Effectiveness of virtualized environments can be evaluated together with physical systems for an integrated perspective. Performance dashboards provide 'at-a-glance' performance assessments across all systems (physical & virtual) in large environments from a wide variety of metrics. …And these management capabilities are flexible to allow user customization and extended capabilities for ultimate control over your environment.

Key health and performance management features include:

Thresholds can be set by the user to generate integrated alerts for proactive notifications
Alerts are forwarded into HP SIM and can be used in enterprise management systems (e.g. HP Openview).
Integrated syslog of events assists issue tracking and problem resolution
Graphing capabilities allow flexible analysis of issues across systems and time periods
Integrates commonly-used open source technologies (e.g. Nagios®, syslog, supermon, etc.) with HP technologies for advanced health management. All capabilities are integrated, and user configuration scripts are auto-generated for immediate user productivity.
Use industry-common Nagios® plug-ins to customize your control over your systems and extend your environment. Auto-generated user configuration scripts are also user-accessible for further customization.
Operation allows the user to choose the agents for implementation. When using the recommended minimum set of agents, the performance impact is much less than 1% on system usage, enabling maximum 'performance-on-the-problem'.
Out-of-band metrics collection with an efficient metrics repository provides over 100 standard metrics for graphing and performance viewing to understand issues. Metrics can also be user-customized.
'At-a-glance' performance across multiple nodes is displayed using multiple standard metrics or user-customized metrics. Displays performance for virtual and physical systems/nodes across large infrastructures
Full information access is available using customizable graphical (GUI) displays or via command line interface (CLI).
Management of non-HP x86 servers is also possible

Insight Control server deployment

HP Insight Control for Linux delivers an integrated deployment solution for HP ProLiant servers to improve productivity of system administrators in multi-system Linux environments. Insight Control server deployment enables scalable management to meet a wide variety of needs:

Bare-metal system discovery,
Linux operating system installations,
Image and script-based (KickStart, AutoYAST) installations,
Captured images,
Agents,
Firmware updates,
Virtual machine hosts,
Custom scripts.

A user-controlled software repository provides flexible control over content, with scheduling and customizations determined by the user.

Productivity can be enhanced by using a one-to-many deployment mode or an 'avalanche' deployment mode for parallelized implementation in large environments. The user can also apply management actions to classes of servers for better utilization. (For example, firmware updates can be deployed using either of these modes to establish a group of servers at a specific revision level.) These capabilities scale the deployment and provisioning options for large environments.

HP Insight Control for Linux supports deployments across the variety of HP BladeSystems and HP ProLiant servers, including IPMI-based DL160 & DL180 (rack) servers, DL10000 Multi-node servers, and Scalable (SL series) servers. The integration of these deployment capabilities with HP Systems Insight Manager software provides for efficient registration and management for Linux multi-system environments.

Integrated Firmware Updates

Users of HP Insight Control for Linux can accelerate their version control processes using integrated system firmware update capabilities. HP Insight Control for Linux integrates HP system Update Manager (HPSUM) technology to enhance administrator productivity when dealing with firmware issues. Firmware updates can be deployed using the integrated server deployment tools, such as the parallelized deployment ('avalanche') processes which scale for use in large environments. When combined with update services for Linux operating systems, these capabilities form a solid foundation for effective version control in Linux environments.

Insight Control virtual machine management

HP Insight Control for Linux (IC-Linux) includes HP Insight Control virtual machine management software for unified management and control of virtual environments. This affordable virtualization is based on XEN®, the open source hypervisor which is already provided with many Linux distributions. Capabilities include association of virtual machines with their physical hosts in HP SIM; monitoring performance of virtual machines and host servers; virtual machine control functions (e.g. start , stop, pause, suspend), and virtual machine recovery functions (e.g. copy, move). With unified management of physical and virtual resources, systems administrators now have the ability extend existing processes to the management of their virtualized infrastructure while leveraging best-in-class technology for deployment, monitoring, and control.
