The HP System Management Homepage is a web-based interface that consolidates and simplifies the management of individual ProLiant and Integrity servers running Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems. By aggregating data from HP Insight Management Agents and other management tools, the System Management Homepage provides a secure and intuitive interface to review in-depth hardware configuration and status data, performance metrics, system thresholds and software version control information. The System Management Homepage can also be used to access the HP Lights-Out Management processor on ProLiant and Integrity servers.

The System Management Homepage is delivered on the ProLiant Support Pack and the Integrity Support Pack, and can be automatically installed using the SmartStart or Smart Setup server installation and configuration tools. The System Management Homepage can also be extended to meet specific system management requirements by integrating additional HP plug-in management tools that include HP Online Diagnostics, the HP Intelligent Networking Pack and HP Software Version Control Agents.

It is also available as part of the ICM DVD and the Management CD/HPSIM install.

The System Management Homepage also provides ready-access to in-depth HP hardware resource data from the industry's leading enterprise management platforms, including HP OpenView, Microsoft Operations Manager, Tivoli Enterprise and CA Unicenter. See http://www.hp.com/servers/integration for additional details on HP enterprise integration solutions.
