The HP NonStop Cluster Essentials
software provides an integrated
cluster management solution for
heterogeneous clusters.
Managing a cluster of systems is more complex than
managing a single system, and managing a
heterogeneous cluster consisting of many hardware
platforms and operating systems is more complex than
managing a homogeneous cluster consisting of only
one hardware platform type and operating system.
Moreover, in operating a heterogeneous cluster, system
administrators and operators have to deal with a set of
tools and management interfaces that increase the
learning curve and hence, the total cost of ownership
(TCO). The challenge is to provide a single system
image from the manageability point of view where the
system administrators and operators feel that they are
managing one platform from one management
interface rather than managing many completely
separate platforms that require them to switch
management interfaces on a per-platform basis.
The HP NonStop Cluster Essentials software provides
an integrated cluster management solution for
heterogeneous clusters. The initial product offering
supports clusters consisting of Integrity NonStop NS-
Series servers and optionally, rack-mount or
BladeSystem ProLiant servers running Red Hat Linux.
The software is a plug-in into the HP Systems 
Insight Manager (SIM) software and acts as a 
central integration point for heterogeneous 
cluster management. 
Features
HP NonStop Cluster Essentials provides the 
following features:
• Availability: Built-in fault tolerance to support multiple
HP SIM Central Management Servers (CMS)
• Scalability: Scalable to support clusters containing
hundreds of systems
• Security: All the communication between HP
NonStop Cluster Essentials software and managed
systems is secure and all data encrypted 
Components
HP NonStop Cluster Essentials has the following
components:
• A Windows component
• A NonStop component
• A Linux component
Windows component is installed on each HP SIM
CMS after installation of HP SIM. It installs all of the
components required to provide integrated cluster
management from that CMS. NonStop and Linux
components are installed on all managed NonStop
and Linux systems to enable them to be managed by
HP NonStop Cluster Essentials.
Functionality
HP NonStop Cluster Essentials provides the 
following functionality:
• Configuration of NonStop clusters
• Discovery of configured NonStop clusters in HP SIM
• Integrated health monitoring with state propagation
across systems in the cluster
• Integrated event monitoring from a single 
user interface
