HP SIM 5.3 with SP1
  • New Hardware support. HP SIM can now monitor and manage the leading HP G6, including BL280c G6, BL460c G6, BL490c G6, and BL685c G6 Server Blades
  • Enhanced providers support for HP Insight Management WBEM provider 2.3 and Linux providers.

HP SIM 5.3

  • Support for display of IPv6 addresses HP SIM can display IPv6 address on the System page and data collection reports for the systems that are IPv6 enabled.
  • Improved Linux identification HP SIM uses SSH to gather basic system hardware information. Therefore, Linux is better identified because SSH gathers the serial number, product name, and UUID information.
  • Improved discovery and identification of ESX hosts HP SIM identifies ESX hosts, as a system type or subtype, through SSH identification if every other protocol fails. You must include a working user name and password pair for all ESX hosts configured in HP SIM.
  • Credentials management improvement A new sign-in credential is introduced. This credential can be used to sign into managed systems and is protocol independent. Each discovery task can have its own set of credentials, resulting in faster discoveries process, because all possible credentials don't have to be included in global credentials. The Configure or Repair Agents tool has been extended so that it can use the Sign-in credentials associated with each system instead of one common credential. This enables the tool to successfully run on a set of systems that do not share a single credential.
  • Additional hypervisor support Xen host and guest identification and association.
  • DTF enhancements HP SIM uses privilege elevation tools such as su and sudo to run tools on remote HP-UX, Linux, and ESX systems. HP SIM provides login to a remote system with one unprivileged user and then elevates the privilege to run the tools. Can launch tools on AIX and Solaris.
  • Manual discovery Manual discovery is available on the New Discovery section by selecting Discover a single system. Task results are available for single system discovery.
  • License usability enhancements Usability enhancements made to License Manager including:
    • Easier view of available licenses
    • Enhanced licensing information gathering

   Supporting software for managed systems


The updates below are to upgrade existing installations of HP SIM - MS Windows. Below you will find links for supporting software for the systems you want to manage with HP SIM.

Managed systems
WMIMapper Convert WBEM queries into WMI and WMI responses into WBEM. HP SIM uses the WBEM protocol for discovery and data collection from WBEM providers on HP-UX systems. Since Windows systems use WMI, the WMI Mapper is used to convert WBEM queries into WMI and WMI responses into WBEM. The WMI Mapper is automatically installed locally when the CMS is installed on a Windows system. However, an installation of the WMI Mapper is needed on a Windows system when Windows machines are being managed from an HP-UX or Linux version of HP SIM. The WMI Mapper can be installed on a Windows HP SIM server platform or another Windows system on the network.
Version Control Repository Manager

Version Control Repository Manager User Guide and Release Notes
The Version Control Repository Manager automatically downloads and catalogues BIOS, driver, and agent updates for ProLiant servers running Windows or Linux operating systems. The VCRM installs on a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 systems.
ProLiant Support Packs
- Support Pack for Windows Server 2008
- Support Pack for Windows Server 2003
- Support Pack for Windows 2000
- Support Pack for Windows NT 4.0

ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) is an advanced software delivery tool that can be distributed via VCRM to a designated server(s) and then silently integrated into the server environment. It interacts with a version control agent during the installation. The PSP can also be copied directly to the managed system and installed from that location. It contains the HP Management Agents and associated drivers for HP ProLiant servers which allows it to be managed by HP SIM.
Integrity Server Support Contains all the drivers and agents necessary to get an HP Integrity server managed by HP SIM.
