Provisioning OpenVMS Using HP Systems Insight
Manager
Provisioning is the process of installing or upgrading an
operating system. With provisioning support, HP SIM
installs or upgrades OpenVMS quickly and easily on
one or more servers in the network. You can install
or upgrade OpenVMS on up to eight servers simulta-
neously. Provisioning support also facilitates installing
or upgrading OpenVMS on Integrity servers and server
blades that do not include a CD/DVD drive.
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is the foundation
for HP’s unified server-storage management strategy. It
provides simplified, centralized management of multi-
ple servers and platforms through a web-based, unified
("single-pane-of-glass") interface. HP SIM offers the ba-
sic 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 capabili-
ties required for managing HP server platforms.
HP SIM running on an HP ProLiant server with Microsoft
Windows supports provisioning of OpenVMS on both
HP Integrity rx3600 and rx6600 servers, and on HP In-
tegrity BL860c Server Blades.
HP SIM can be activated from a browser on a PC.
An OpenVMS plug-in must be installed on the ProLiant
server. Once HP SIM initiates the provisioning, the in-
stallation or upgrade process occurs automatically in the
background. To provide provisioning over the network,
use HP SIM in conjunction with the InfoServer software
utility (and TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS).
Provisioning can also be accomplished with vMedia. An
ISO image of the OpenVMS OE DVD is created and
stored on the server where HP SIM is running. HP SIM
then connects vMedia to that image. Using vMedia one
server can be provisioned at a time. Currently, HP SIM
provisioning does not support booting from a shadowed
system disk. You can deploy vMedia independently of
HP SIM to install or upgrade a server over the network.

HP Availability Manager
HP Availability Manager is a system management tool
that enables you to monitor one or more OpenVMS
nodes on an extended local area network (LAN) from ei-
ther an OpenVMS Alpha system, or an OpenVMS for In-
tegrity server system, or a PC running Windows®. This
tool helps system managers and analysts target a spe-
cific node or process for detailed analysis and also can
resolve certain performance or resource problems. It is
the multiplatform replacement for the DECamds product
and includes the DECamds functionality in its capabili-
ties.
For OpenVMS version 8.3-1H1, Availability Manager
has a wide-area capability whereby any system on the
network supporting AM can be managed from a central
console.
The Data Collector, part of the Availability Manager
product, collects system and process data on an Open-
VMS node and should be installed on each node that
you need to monitor (Alpha and Integrity servers).
The Data Analyzer analyzes and displays the data col-
lected by the Data Collector, and can analyze and dis-
play data from many OpenVMS nodes simultaneously
(OpenVMS Alpha nodes, and PCs running Windows).

DECamds
DECamds is in maintenance mode and is not available
on OpenVMS Version 8.2 or higher. Availability Man-
ager replaces DECamds. DECamds installs and runs
on VAX from V6.2 through V7.3 and Alpha from V6.2
through V7.3-2.
DECamds is not supported on OpenVMS for Integrity
servers and will not install on OpenVMS Alpha Version
8.2 or higher.
Management Agents for OpenVMS
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is the founda-
tion for HP’s unified infrastructure management strat-
egy. It provides hardware level management for all HP
storage products and servers, including OpenVMS Al-
pha and OpenVMS for Integrity servers. With Manage-
ment Agents installed on an OpenVMS system, that
system can be managed using HP SIM as the single
management console providing fault monitoring, config-
uration management, and event alarms. The Manage-
ment Agents for OpenVMS and related documentation
is available on the OpenVMS System Management web
page located at:
