 Supporting Software for Managed Systems


The updates below are to upgrade existing installations of HP SIM - MS Windows. Below you will find links for supporting software for the systems you want to manage with HP SIM.

Managed systems
WMIMapper Convert WBEM queries into WMI and WMI responses into WBEM. HP SIM uses the WBEM protocol for discovery and data collection from WBEM providers on HP-UX systems. Since Windows systems use WMI, the WMI Mapper is used to convert WBEM queries into WMI and WMI responses into WBEM. The WMI Mapper is automatically installed locally when the CMS is installed on a Windows system. However, an installation of the WMI Mapper is needed on a Windows system when Windows machines are being managed from an HP-UX or Linux version of HP SIM. The WMI Mapper can be installed on a Windows HP SIM server platform or another Windows system on the network.
Version Control Repository Manager

Version Control Repository Manager User Guide and Release Notes
The Version Control Repository Manager automatically downloads and catalogues BIOS, driver, and agent updates for ProLiant servers running Windows or Linux operating systems.
ProLiant Support Packs
- Support Pack for MS Windows Server 2008 R2
- Support Pack for MS Windows Server 2008
- Support Pack for MS Windows Server 2003
ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) is an advanced software delivery tool that can be distributed via VCRM to a designated server(s) and then silently integrated into the server environment. It interacts with a version control agent during the installation. The PSP can also be copied directly to the managed system and installed from that location. It contains the HP Management Agents and associated drivers for HP ProLiant servers which allow it to be managed by HP SIM.
Integrity Server Support Contains all the drivers and agents necessary to get an HP Integrity server managed by HP SIM.
