IPMI and WS-Management for HP ProLiant 100 Series servers

The HP ProLiant 100 Series servers listed in Table 7 contain a Baseboard Management Controller
(BMC).

HP IPMI Provider for HP BladeSystem servers and ProLiant 300 and 500
Series servers
For HP BladeSystem servers and ProLiant 300 and 500 Series servers without IPMI hardware, the
IPMI Provider is required for IPMI functionality. The HP IPMI Provider emulates the Microsoft IPMI
Provider by collecting IPMI data from the HP System Management Controller Driver and making it
available through the "root\hardware" WMI namespace.
ProLiant 300 and 500 Series G4 servers and older require the IPMI Provider that is included in the
Windows Server 2008 PSP 8.25.

Failover Clustering

Failover clustering is available in the Enterprise and Datacenter editions of Windows Server 2008.
Installed through the Add Features menu in Server Manager, failover clustering allows multiple servers
to work together to increase the availability of applications and services. Windows Server 2008
failover clustering does not support parallel SCSI-based storage solutions. Only SCSI Primary
Commands-3 (SPC-3) command-capable storage integrates functions with Windows Server 2008
failover clustering.
ProLiant servers running Windows Server 2008 and Smart Array Cluster Storage or StorageWorks
platforms integrated with HP management tools provide intelligent fault resilience with High
Availability Clustering.
Administrators should review the Microsoft documentation for failover clustering:

54c9734a53bf1033.mspx?mfr=true.
NOTE
Storage that was compatible with server clusters in Windows
Server 2003 might not be compatible with failover clusters in
Windows Server 2008.
