One of the key reasons to upgrade to HP Systems Insight Manager is the ability to extend server lifecycle management capabilities through plug-ins. In particular, the integration of vulnerability and patch management capabilities with the new ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack enables you to quickly identify and resolve server security vulnerabilities using one tool instead of three different tools. Customers evaluating virtual machine technology will also be pleased to learn that the Virtual Machine Management Pack plug-in automatically associates virtual machines with their physical hosts and provides the ability to copy and migrate virtual machines from one host to another.
HP Systems Insight Manager has a more intuitive and flexible user interface than Insight Manager 7. It is based on standard Windows and x-Windows GUIs; and it provides customizable displays and powerful search capabilities (by device or event).The ability to centralize access to other HP and third-party management tools increases your efficiency. For example, you can link MS Terminal services directly to HP Systems Insight Manager to perform server administration tasks. You can also launch printer management and client management tools in context.
To facilitate migration, HP provides a Data Migration Tool (DMT) that exports configuration data from Insight Manager 7 Service Pack 2.3 and the Performance Management Pack and imports this data into HP Systems Insight Manager running on a Windows system. The tool is delivered with the HP Systems Insight Manager 4.2 kit.
