Operating Environment Charts

In addition to its renowned HP OpenView network management tools, HP has incorporated a complete set of system-level management tools into HP-UX 11i that integrate with each other and allow management of thousands of servers from local and remote locations. Designed for increased productivity and efficiency, HP-UX 11i workload management tools and products provide extensive capabilities for allocating system resources among application loads.

HP hard and soft virtual partitions (vPars), in conjunction with HP’s automatic, goal-based workload management, enable the isolation of multiple operating environments to ensure privacy and uptime while providing the highest degree of flexibility by dynamically re-allocating resources.

All HP-UX 11i system-level and workload management functions and products are integrated under HP Servicecontrol Manager, which provides a single, secure administration point for system administrators. HP Servicecontrol Manager integrates with all the tools mentioned in the table below and also features:

• Web-enabled graphical user interfaces — enable intuitive operation of integrated management tools
• Group operations — allow system management commands to be executed simultaneously on multiple systems
• Role-based management — allows system administration capabilities to be allocated based on need
• Security — enables traffic authentication and encryption between the central management server and the managed node
• Audit logging — logs all tasks, keeping track of target nodes, actions taken, results, and the user performing the tasks
