HP Insight Dynamics - VSE
for HP Integrity servers
HP Insight Dynamics - VSE is advanced lifecycle management software for HP
Integrity servers which allows you to instantly adjust to dynamic business
demands - with the new addition of infrastructure orchestration, not only can
you easily plan, configure, and automate your physical and virtual resources in
the same way, but now you can also provision and modify a complex
infrastructure in minutes.
HP-UX Software Assistant
(SWA)
HP-UX Software Assistant (SWA) is a command-line based tool that
consolidates and simplifies patch management and security bulletin
management on HP-UX systems. The SWA tool is new for HP-UX releases and
includes Security Patch Check (SPC), and is the HP-recommended utility to use
to maintain currency with HP-published security bulletins for HP-UX software.
HP-UX Workload Manager HP-UX Workload Manager (HP-UX WLM) is a resource management tool that
provides automatic CPU resource allocation and application performance
management based on your service-level objectives (SLOs) and business
priorities. WLM is most effective managing applications that are CPU-bound. It
automatically adapts system or partition CPU resources (cores) to the
demands, SLOs, and priorities of the running applications. (A core is the actual
data processing engine within a processor, where a single processor can have
multiple cores, and a core can support multiple execution threads through
Hyper-Threading, introduced with HP-UX 11i v3, as discussed below.) It
adjusts the CPU allocation of a group of processes known as a workload,
basing adjustment on the current needs and performance of the applications
in that workload.
HP Global Workload
Manager
The workload management capability for HP Integrity servers is provided by
the HP Global Workload Manager component of HP Insight Dynamics - VSE. HP
Global Workload Manager (gWLM), is an intelligent policy engine that
automatically allocates resources among multiple workloads to increase
server utilization while meeting service levels for high-priority applications.
Designed to work across multiple HP-UX 11i, OpenVMS and Linux
environments, the workload management features are ideal for large,
centralized IT environments that host applications for many departments.
HP Insight Dynamics
infrastructure
orchestration
HP Insight Dynamics infrastructure orchestration capabilities let you provision
infrastructure in minutes to automatically activate physical and virtual
servers, storage, and networking from pools of shared resources. Whether
you need a single virtual machine or infrastructure for a complex three-tier
application, Insight Dynamics infrastructure orchestration finds available
resources, streamlines the approval process, and automatically provisions
and configures what's needed across infrastructure silos. Delivering
infrastructure to the business becomes faster, more efficient, and more
reliable.
Performance Manager and
Agent
HP Performance Manager, Agents, and Monitor combine to provide a powerful
and flexible distributed management solution. This solution is a single
interface for centrally monitoring, analyzing, and forecasting resource
utilization for distributed multi-vendor environments, enabling you to offer
the best possible level of service in a cost-effective manner.
Process Resource Manager HP Process Resource Manager (HP PRM) is a resource management tool used
to control the amount of resources that processes use during peak system
load. HP PRM can manage allocation of the following resources:
CPU: Ensures a minimum allocation of CPU; can also simultaneously cap
QuickSpecs
HP Integrity BL870c i2 Server Blade
Standard Features
DA - 13620 Worldwide — Version 18 — December 10, 2013 Page 11

CPU resource usage for each group in the configuration. (Starting with
HP-UX 11i v3, per-group capping is available.)
Memory: Ensures a minimum allocation of private real memory; can
also cap private memory usage. Allows you to allocate an exact amount
of shared memory.
Disk bandwidth: Ensures a minimum allocation of disk bandwidth
Secure Resource Partitions One method that HP Insight Dynamics - VSE uses to improve server resource
utilization is to consolidate multiple applications within a single operating
system image. Secure Resource Partitions combine kernel level security and
proven resource management to stack multiple applications within the same
operating system. HP Process Resource Manager and HP-UX Workload
Manager can dedicate specific resources to specific applications within an
operating system image, avoiding resource contention issues. Using HP-UX
11i v3 Security Containment, organizations can ensure that application
instances cannot access processes or files from other applications or the
system. This ensures that multiple application instances run securely in a
consolidated environment, providing the benefits of consolidation while
preserving the security of a scale out environment. For software licensing
purposes, the maximum number of CPUs in a Secure Resource Partition can be
capped.
Software Distributor-UX Software Distributor (SD) is the HP-UX administration tool set used to deliver
and maintain HP-UX operating systems and layered software applications. SD
is delivered as part of HP-UX; you do not need to download it separately.

HP-UX 11i offers industry-leading breadth and depth of UNIX security features. Focused on
comprehensive security integration aimed at proactively mitigating risk, reducing compliance cost and
accelerating time to implementation, HP-UX security solutions significantly lower IT costs. This set of fully
integrated and complementary features is designed to provide layered security with in-depth protection of
all your enterprise assets by protecting all these aspects of data, systems, data and identity security. HP-
UX independently validates its comprehensive security portfolio through Common Criteria security
evaluation. For more details, visit: www.hp.com/go/hpux11isecurity
Protecting systems :
One critical factor in enterprise security is system minimization and hardening. HP-UX 11i offers a set of
security features designed to address known and unknown vulnerabilities by running only the services
that are needed, thus minimizing a potential point of attack. The following security features have built-in
mechanisms not only to minimize and harden the system, but also to detect and react to attack in real
time:
Bastille system hardening
Host Intrusion Detection System
Secure Resource Partitions
IPFilter - firewall technology
Software Assistant (security bulletin currency)
Install-time Security
Boot Authentication
Standard Mode Security Extensions
Shadow Passwords
Strong Random Number Generator
Protecting data :
HP-UX 11i offers data protection in many forms: protecting data in transit, in use and at rest. By using
security features designed to protect data in its three forms, HP-UX 11i customers can minimize possible
breaches not only in terms of data loss, but in customer trust as well. Several security features offer data
protection capabilities to HP-UX customers:
Encrypted volume and file system
Trusted Computing Services
Security containment
OpenSSL
IPSec
Secure Shell
MD5sum
Protecting Identity :
In modern day global enterprise companies, managing identity is not an easy task , especially as identity
management requirements grow to include employees, contractors, partners and suppliers across many
countries with various privacy protection laws and regulation. HP-UX 11i dramatically simplifies this
critical task by integrating various identity management technologies which offer ease of use and
adherence to compliance regulation:
