HP Load Runner: This is testing tool. Used in Software Testing.

HP Insight Manager: This is Management Suite. Used in the Management of Datacenter (Server, Switch, Encl. Etc)

But these are not related.

For example If we need to test below points :

1) that our application should handle 300 concurrent users successfully,

2)Zoom in functionality of any application

3)Any feature selection by 300 concurrent users.

4)database connectivity

then which one we should use ? HP load runner or HP insight manager?

one more thing, can we use both tools with GIS application testing?

like:

Temperature
Voltage
Fan Status
ILO card status
RAID
Physical
Logical Disk
Cluster logs
etc..etc..
