I seem to recall having a Menu in older versions of HPSIM but it's not been there for a while.
They're pretty much treated as a device like any other.

But it is referenced in the 5.1 sp1 documentation.

I see what you mean, but the menu items all seem to relate to HP 9000 servers only.
It's not particularly clear but my guess is that if you don't have those servers then you will not see the menu items.
If you do have HP 9000 servers then I can't answer as we don't have them here.

No my servers are all proliant servers. It seems to be a bug in sim 5.1 sp1

No, I think it's more of a documentation issue. The Menu item listed in the document only relates to HP 9000 Servers. Whenever Management Processors are referred to in more general terms the Menu Item is not mentioned.

I don't think you'll see that Menu Item unless you have HP 9000 servers.
