Re: OneView replacing SIM?

I pretty much have the same information.

 

Note that OneView and SIM is a not a 1:1 comparison.  OneView is much more and only a subset of SIM features right now.  OneView is slated to be the single point of management to replace functions of VCEM, SIM.  It's not a perfect conversion.  You can set up OneView yourself with the downloadable appliance. 

 

So, what's not in OneView that is in SIM today?  Warranty entitlement lookups, IRS/IRSA, support for pre-G7 machines and some of the plugins from Insight Control (power management, performance management).  There are also no current plans for multi-vendor support.  Now, given that HP Cloud tools do support multi-vendor, it is my assumption that OneView as well, as a piece of the overall automation suite, it's just not on the current roadmap.

 

In my opinion, you'll keep SIM for your legacy equipment and multi-vendor stuff, but from Gen7+ onward, especially if you have enclosures or new deployments, you'll want to go OneView, but if you use IRS, i'd wait.  Basically, OneView needs to catch up a bit before people can replace SIM with it.  I am all for it, however - SIM is getting "long in the tooth" and was in dire need of a technology update (lose java, UI update, combine plugins into one too for better management).  Plus, managing VCs and storage within OneView is great.  I am looking forward to learning more at Discover..
