HP Systems Insight Manager | |
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is the foundation for HP's
unified server-storage management strategy. It is a multiple operating
system, hardware level management product that supports HP ProLiant,
Integrity and HP 9000 servers, HP StorageWorks MSA, EVA, XP arrays,
and third-party arrays. Through a single management view of Microsoft®
Windows®; HP-UX 11iv1, HP-UX 11iv2, and HP-UX 11iv3; and Red Hat
and SuSE Linux, HP SIM provides the basic management features of system
discovery and identification, single event view, inventory data collection,
and reporting. The core HP SIM software uses Web Based Enterprise
management (WBEM) to deliver the essential capabilities required to
manage all HP server platforms. HP SIM can be extended to provide system management with plug-ins
for HP clients, storage, power, and printer products. Plug-in applications
for workload management, capacity management, virtual machine management,
and partition management through HP Integrity Essentials enable you
to pick the value-added software required to deliver complete lifecycle
management for your hardware assets. HP SIM 5.1 with Update 1 for HP-UX includes: Enhancements to better identify associations between
systems when those systems convert to a different type, for example,
a standalone system that becomes a Virtual Machine, while retaining
the same hostname and IP address. The name of orphan systems has changed from Orphan-devKey to Orphan-devKey-oldName for better recognizing which system becomes orphan,
where devKey will be replaced with the devKey of the system and oldName is the old system name.

There are no known compatibility issues. There are no known performance issues. GUI and TUI Online Help is integrated with the tool. Disks and File Systems (fsweb) | |
The Disks & File Systems (fsweb) tool
is the primary interface for file system and
disks system administration tasks. The tool provides
both web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)
and Text User Interface (TUI). The Disks &
File Systems tool can be launched from the HP
System Management Homepage (HP SMH) and HP Systems Insight
Manager (HP SIM). In the 11i v3 release, the tool can also
be launched using the fsweb command. The Disks & File Systems tool supports system administration
tasks, including management of logical volumes
and volume groups, disk management tasks, and
file system tasks. The tool supports these file
systems: Cache File System (CFS), Compact Disc
File System (CDFS), Common Internet File System
(CIFS), Hierarchical File System (HFS), Network
File System (NFS), and Veritas File System (VxFS). The Disks & File Systems tool is available on the HP-UX
11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environments.
It is not supported on Linux and Windows operating
systems. The name of the fsweb bundle is FileSystems. The FileSystems bundle
is available on the Operating Environment DVD
and the Applications DVD. When you install an
HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment, HP recommends
that you install FileSystems. This release of Disks and File Systems provides the following
new features: Volume Group (VG) creation for Serviceguard (SG) Clusters The user can create a volume group required for SG clusters.
The user can select the nodes, select common disks across selected
nodes, create VG on the local working node and then distribute the
created VG across all the selected nodes. This feature is available
in the GUI as the menu “Create Cluster VG” in the Volume
Group tab. When the user creates Veritas File Systems for Serviceguard
packages using the Disks and File Systems tool, the File Systems tab
in the FSweb tool does not automatically display the file systems.
To be able to view the Veritas File Systems in the File Systems tab,
the user or a Serviceguard package must explicitly mount the Veritas
File Systems at the time of startup or failover. Automatic Cluster Volume Group Distribution The tool supports automatic distribution of Logical Volume Manager
(LVM) changes to all the nodes in a cluster, without the user having
to manually perform the Distribute operation. For example, operations
such as VG extend can be performed and distributed automatically in
an SG cluster using FSweb tool. This applies to all VG, LV, and FS
related operations in a SG cluster. This feature is supported only for volume groups created in
exclusive mode. For volume groups created in a shared read/write mode
this functionality is not supported. Also to note is that the term SLVM in the
FSweb tool is not to be confused with the SLVM feature available from
LVM for Serviceguard Extension for RAC (SGeRAC). In the FSweb tool
Shared Logical Volume Manager (SLVM) is a generic term for volume
groups that are available in a Serviceguard cluster in shared or exclusive
mode. The SLVM feature available from LVM for SGeRAC is a mechanism
that permits multiple systems in a Serviceguard cluster to share (read/write)
disk resources in the form of volume groups. Paging Space Configuration The tool supports
configuring and managing paging space on devices, LVM logical volumes,
and file systems. This was earlier available as the “swap” feature in System Administration Manager (SAM).
The new features are currently available only in the graphical
user interface. There are no known impacts other than those previously listed. There are no known compatibility issues. There are no known performance issues. For detailed information, see the following: Disks and File Systems Online Help
