Raise operational efficiency by unifying management of virtual and physical servers

  • Leverage common HP Systems Insight Manager functions and processes for virtual as well as your physical servers - discovery, identification, event notification and handling, role-based access to specific VMs or hosts, scheduling of tasks (VM backups etc) and group-based actions.
  • Supports heterogeneous virtualization platforms from VMware, Microsoft, Citrix, and Xen on RHEL & SLES
  • Use one console to manage physical and many day-to-day virtualization tasks, avoid having to constantly switch back and forth between multiple management consoles.
  • Provide basic virtualization management access to lower-level server administrators without having to provide access to virtualization management consoles such as VirtualCenter.

Minimize downtime by proactively relocating VMs before hardware failures occur

  • With predictive hardware failure alerts from HP SIM, VMM can initiate relocating VMs to other host servers before any downtime occurs.
  • No scripts required, comes “out of the box”. List of events that trigger moving VMs can easily be modified, and actions can be automated or set for manual control.
  • Integrates with VMware DRS for easy relocation of VMs when an alert is received.

Power Savings through DPM

HP VMM and HP Insight Control suites (ICE) now enable additional power savings for HP ProLiant machines running VMware ESX by supporting the VMware’s DPM feature. HP’s VMM enables the safe and orderly shutdown of VMware ESX hosts when the VMware’s DPM has freed up a VMware ESX host to shut down for power saving purposes. HP’s VMM communicates with vCenter (and DPM) and will prevent HP SIM from setting the host status to “critical”
