Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each event
with 1-minute granularity.
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
From within HP SIM ("HP Systems Insight Manager" on page 84)
From within Survey Utility
From within operating system-specific IML viewers
o For NetWare: IML Viewer (does not apply to HP ProLiant DL980 Servers)
o For Windows®: IML Viewer
o For Linux: IML Viewer Application
From within the iLO 3 user interface
From within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 85)
For more information, see the Management CD in the HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant.
Array Diagnostic Utility
The HP Array Diagnostics Utility is a web-based application that creates a report of all HP storage controllers
and disk drives. This report provides vital information to assist in identifying faults or conditions that may
require attention. ADU can be accessed from the SmartStart CD ("SmartStart software" on page 77) or
downloaded from the HP website (http://www.hp.com).
Remote support and analysis tools
HP Insight Remote Support software
HP strongly recommends that you install HP Insight Remote Support software to complete the installation or
upgrade of your product and to enable enhanced delivery of your HP Warranty, HP Care Pack Service, or
HP contractual support agreement. HP Insight Remote Support supplements your monitoring 24 x 7 to ensure
maximum system availability by providing intelligent event diagnosis, and automatic, secure submission of
hardware event notifications to HP, which will initiate a fast and accurate resolution, based on your product’s
service level. Notifications may be sent to your authorized HP Channel Partner for on-site service, if
configured and available in your country. The software is available in two variants:
HP Insight Remote Support Standard: This software supports server and storage devices and is
optimized for environments with 150 servers. Ideal for customers who can benefit from proactive
notification but do not need proactive service delivery and integration with a management platform.
HP Insight Remote Support Advanced: This software provides comprehensive remote monitoring and
proactive service support for nearly all HP servers, storage, network, and SAN environments, plus
selected non-HP servers that have a support obligation with HP. It is integrated with HP Systems Insight
Manager. A dedicated server is recommended to host both HP Systems Insight Manager and HP Insight
Remote Support Advanced.
Details for both versions are available on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/insightremotesupport).
