What’s New in the Sept ’10 launch-- Insight Control power management

HP Restricted

February 2007 – HP Restricted1-13

New Features1) Usability improvements2) Power/Thermal events for asynchronous

notification of power/cooling issues as they are detected

3) Power history calculation for devices that do not support power management

4) HP Intelligent PDU Power/UID Locator Control5) Additional 3rd party integration6) Additional platform support

Usability ImprovementsNotable Enhancements• Automatic initial data collection• Improved data collection diagnostics/recovery• Enhanced rack content visualization• Improved report navigation• Improved power cap analysis feedback

Benefits• Quicker time to value• Better error detection/reporting/recovery• Simplifies day-to-day use


Power/Thermal EventsGenerate power status alerts via HPSIM events• Allows asynchronous notification• Automatic event handling (email, page, etc.)

Automatically detects/reacts to equipment changes

• Newly installed equipment connected to a PDU• Changes that may create potential overload

conditions• Loss of redundant power delivery• Events automatically cleared when correction

detected

Power/Thermal Event Collections• Single folder of all power/events• View all or only un-cleared events


Power History CalculationDerive power history from available monitoring

points• Utilizes power history gathered from the HP or 3rd

party PDUs• Generate power history for any device (3rd party

server, Router, or HP server without power management support)

• Any device can now have a Power/Thermal tab• Quality of data depends upon type of PDU

When used with the new HP iPDU• Provides best-in-class power history data• 5-minute peak & average values from ½ second

sample• Data 99% accurate above 1 wattFebruary 2007 – HP Restricted1-16

HP iPDU Power/UID ControlControl power and UID lights from HP SIM console• Power ON/OFF/CYCLE each outlet• Power ON/OFF/CYCLE outlets associated with a

server• Control Outlet/Outlet Bar locator lights• Available via tool launch for actions on multiple

devices• Power/Thermal report action bar for ease of access

Benefits• Verify connectivity by matching up server/outlet UID

lights• Power ON/OFF/CYCLE for 3rd party servers, non-

manageable devices.February 2007 – HP Restricted1-17

Additional 3rd Party IntegrationEaton Power Xpert Reporting V2• Import Eaton 1-line power diagrams and power

topology• Simplifies Power Management configuration

Nlyte Software V5.3• Updates to support import/export of power

management configuration • Improves Nlyte power planning with accurate data

instead of excessively padded estimates.

Excel 2007 (xlsx format) spreadsheet import/export


Additional Platform Support• Hardware Platforms

– Superdome 2: Power monitoring for the complex, enclosures (server & IOX), partitions & cell blades

– EATON POWER XPERT® METERS– HP ProLiant BL2x220c G7, BL460c G7, BL490c G7,

BL620c G7, BL680c G7, and DL980 Servers.– HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystem
