Software and configuration utilities 82
PMP provides the tools you need to receive proactive notification of building bottlenecks, and debug
existing performance issues. PMP is automatically installed with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM)
and is integrated with HP SIM. No software installation on the monitored servers is required, other than
the Insight Management Agents. PMP analyzes performance information to determine if there is a building
or existing restriction. You can display this information interactively, log the information to a database for
later analysis or reporting, and set up proactive notification using the HP Systems Insight Manager
notification mechanism.

ProLiant server and HP BladeSystem lifecycles, including:
• Rapid server deployment
• Health and performance monitoring
• Comprehensive remote control
• Vulnerability scanning and patch management
• Power and thermal measurement, reporting, capping, and regulation

Redundant ROM support
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server
has a 4-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 2-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the
ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup
version.
NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.
