HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) for OpenVMS

HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) for OpenVMS is the single system management solution for managing OpenVMS. HP SMH is also available for HP-UX, Linux and Microsoft Windows systems.

The key features of HP SMH for OpenVMS are its system administration capabilities and its ability to display details of hardware attributes. The HP SMH solution provides an easy-to-use interface for displaying hardware fault and status monitoring, system thresholds, and diagnostics for an individual server by aggregating the data from HP web-based agents.

HP SMH for OpenVMS replaces the HP Insight Management Agents on OpenVMS.

HP SMH integrates with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), the strategic platform for multi-system management from HP. HP SIM provides multi-systems management capability by providing administrators single sign-on access to HP SMH on managed servers (stand-alone or partitioned) from a central console.

Provisioning on OpenVMS using HP SIM

Provisioning is the installing or upgrading of an operating system. With provisioning support, HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) installs or upgrades the OpenVMS operating system quickly and easily on one or more servers in the network, much in the same way as HP-UX supports provisioning. You can install or upgrade OpenVMS on up to eight servers simultaneously. Provisioning support also facilitates installing or upgrading OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers that do not include a CD/DVD drive.

HP SIM is the foundation for HP's unified server-storage management strategy. It provides simplified, centralized management of multiple servers and platforms through a Web-based, unified (“single-pane-of-glass”) interface. HP SIM provides the basic tools needed to identify, discover, monitor, and deploy systems and other assets on the network. The core HP SIM software uses WBEM to deliver essential capabilities required to manage HP server platforms.

HP SIM running on a Microsoft Windows ProLiant server supports provisioning of OpenVMS on HP Integrity rx3600 and rx6600 servers and on HP Integrity BL860c Server Blades. An OpenVMS plug-in must be installed on the Windows ProLiant server.

Evaluation kits for OpenView Performance Agent (OVPA) for OpenVMS

OVPA provides performance, resource, and end-to-end transaction response time measurements; it also supports network and database measurement information.

To analyze all the data that OVPA collects or receives, you can use spreadsheet programs, Hewlett-Packard analysis tools such as OpenView Performance Manager (OVPM), or third-party analysis products. OVPA gathers continuous information on system activity without imposing significant overhead on the system.

TDC Version 2.2 provides several data records not provided by V2.1 and extends several data records with new metrics. Additional programming features have been added to those provided by V2.1, and the programming guide has been updated.

TDC Version 2.2-108 is the current release of the Performance Data Collector. The download kit contains runtime software for all supported Alpha and Integrity platforms (OpenVMS Versions 7.3-2, 8.2, 8.2-1, and 8.3) and a Software Developers Kit.

TDC Version 2.2 can be used with Enterprise Capacity and Performance
