Transcription

1 Overview ProLiant Essentials Performance Management Pack (PMP) is a software solution that detects, analyzes, and explains hardware bottlenecks on HP ProLiant servers. HP Integrity servers and HP Storage Works Modular Smart Array shared storage devices. PMP provides the tools you need to receive proactive notification of building bottleneck conditions, monitor system availability and debug existing performance issues. With the PMP software you monitor performance on one or more servers. The performance information is analyzed to determine if there is a building or existing performance bottleneck issue. You can interactively display this information, log the information to a database for later analysis or reporting, and set up proactive notification using the HP Systems Insight Manager notification mechanism. Performance Management Pack is installed on the same server as the HP Systems Insight Manager console. There is no software required on the monitored server other than the management agents required for HP Systems Insight Manager usage. There is no software required on the client machine used to view the information other than a browser. What's New Features: Monitoring of Virtual Guests for VMware ESX, GSX and Microsoft Virtual Server Configurable User Threshold Settings for performance alerts Consolidated Server Availability Report for a user defined group (or collection) of servers Support for HP ProLiant, Integrity and storage servers Storage Support : HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Arrays and Controllers Monitoring of HP ProLiant servers running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 is now supported Use of Oracle 10g database is now supported Models Licensing and Packaging ProLiant Essentials Performance Management Pack, No Media, Single-Server License NOTE: This option kit includes 1 license with a unique license activation key.

2 Standard Features Monitoring and alerting Monitors servers and determines, in real time, what components are experiencing performance issues. These issues can cause data-centre personnel notification directly through HP Systems Insight Manager. Static configuration analysis Determines if the server configuration contains potentially problematic configurations. Performance data logging Log data over time and replay it later with compressed time frames. & replay Summary reporting and detail reporting Generate summary reports on performance issues and system utilization or generate detail reports into a comma separated value (csv) file for import into desktop analyses and charting tools. Systems Insight Manager front-page integration System performance at a glance displayed on the front page of HP Systems Insight Manager. Systems Insight Manager notification integration Allows an administrator to set up rules and actions within HP Systems Insight Manager for notification of performance issues. Customer Usage Scenarios Production monitoring & alerting ProLiant customers who are deploying these servers in production environments can use PMP to identify and diagnose problems that can lead to enduser dissatisfaction in many cases before the dissatisfaction occurs. Active notification of building problems can be set up to alert administrators of the issues before the telephones start ringing. Historical analysis of performance Customers whose environments change and grow over time can use PMP to store performance data over longer periods and then report on or extract this information for further analysis. Often this analysis will lead to different conclusions for performance trends in the data centre than originally assumed. Verification of pilot projects By using the static analysis feature to assure that the initial configuration has no defects and the dynamic analysis during a pilot project, ProLiant customers can reduce initial rollout complaints while configuring closer to the edge. Consolidating servers PMP can help an administrator determine which physical server loads might be compatible for combination onto a consolidation server. Further, PMP can be used to monitor the consolidated server environment to assure that no performance issues were introduced DA Canada Version 14 March 26, 2007 Page 2
