Our review unit uses a chassis with eight front accessible SFF drive bays plus a blank in the Universal Media Bay at the top right which can be configured with two additional SFF drives or a combination of an optical drive and a front accessible VGA port. A status panel with the power button and LED indicators for power status, system health, unit ID, and network status is available at the far right along with one USB port. A DL3. 60 Gen. 9 chassis with four LFF drive bays is also available. The fan grid provides cooling at the front of the system. Our configuration uses two Intel Xeon E5 2. GHz processors and fills 1. DIMM slots. This system uses 1. GB 2. Rx. 4 PC4 2. DDR4 DIMMs for a total of 2. GB DDR4 memory. A Micro. SD slot lies between the power supplies and the DIMM slots. A secondary PCIe riser with a third PCIe slot can be utilized for DL3. CPUs, and a Flexible. LOM slot and two SATA ports are also located at rear. DL3. 60 Gen. 9 servers are equipped with one standard PCIe riser offering two PCIe slots, while an optional second riser enables a third PCIe slot for dual CPU configurations. The rear of the server incorporates a VGA port, an embedded four port 1. Gb. E network adaptor, i. LO management port, serial port, two USB 3. ID LED, and access to the Flexible. LOM card, in this case configured with a two port PCA FLR 1. Gb. E SFP network interface. Our server is equipped with dual 8. W Flexible Slot Platinum hot plug power supplies rated at 9. HP Flex Slot power supplies share a design that allows for hot plug, tool less installation into HP Pro. Liant Gen. 9 servers and are currently available for the DL3. Gen. 9 in 5. 00. W, 8. W, and 1. 40. 0W variations. Management. HP Pro. Liant Gen. 9 servers ship configured for deployment with Unified Extensible Firmware Interface UEFI but also offer a legacy boot mode. HP Integrated Lights Out i. LO is an embedded intelligence and management system built into Pro. Liant servers for agentless management. Agentless Management communicates using the Direct Media Interface DMI and can be used in conjunction with HPs Intelligent Provisioning to deploy and update servers without configuration media with reusable deployment profiles. New provisioning features for Pro. Liant Gen. 9 include the ability to access to 1. TB of HP Store. Virtual virtual storage appliance VSA storage at no additional cost and new scripting to automate server setup. Standard i. LO capabilities include Agentless Management, Active Health System, Embedded Remote support, and the new Adaptive Pro. Liant Management Layer APML abstraction layer to improve thermal to update system health and fan data without flashing the system ROM and to permit non disruptive online updates for fan and thermal data. For Pro. Liant Gen. LO has added i. LO Federation, a key enablement feature to discover and manage numerous servers and a 1. GB Embedded User Partition is accessible for additional utilization of storage when 4. GB of i. LO NAND is installed in the server. Various i. LO licensing schemes are available which enable various aspects of the new Federation functionality. HP Active Health System AHS is an integrated component of HP i. LO Management for self diagnostics. AHS monitors server activities and logs health, configuration, and real time telemetry from i. LO 4, system ROM, complex programmable logic devices CPLDs, smart arrays, Blade. System Onboard Administrator, the Agentless Management Service, and network interface cards. It provides synchronized monitoring and logging across systems and solutions to speed diagnoses and can be automatically sent for HP analysis via Insight Online direct connect or Insight Remote Support 7. An i. LO mobile app for i. OS and Android can interact directly with the i. LO processor on Pro. Liant servers to provide access to system status and logs along with scripting and virtual media. The new HP RESTful Interface Tool for HP Pro. Liant Gen. 9 servers uses an API that can script configuration for rapid deployment of multiple Pro. Liant servers while also configuring servers with heterogeneous operating systems. HP Pro. Liant Gen. Servers also support management via HP Systems Insight Manager 7. HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 7. HP Gen. 9 servers currently ship with Insight Control management software. HP Insight Control incorporates automated server deployment and generational migration tools along with virtual machine management integration with VMware ESX, Microsoft Hyper V, Citrix Xen. Server, and Xen on Linux VMs. ALM Software Development Lifecycle SDLC Testing SolutionIt provides our team with a well defined structure for the way each person should work, giving us a standardized process. Valuable Features The most valuable feature is definitely its scalability. It covers the life cycle end to end, from requirements to test execution and defect management. There are some features we havent yet explored, such as project planning and libraries, but these also add to the end to end view of the life cycle.
