Re: graphical monitoring of usage and other misc
You are correct. That is a broad question. What tools have the nicest graphics is what I was asking. Sometimes 'pop' sells and I need something that pops. When management should be concerned with function over 'pop', they often don't understand function. With something like HPUX, I need to show them some 'pop' in order for them to be impressed. It doesn't matter what it is.

Re: graphical monitoring of usage and other misc
I'd say the best "pop" you can get is from Nagvis. But this will require a helluva time and trouble to implement at your site.
But ufortunately there isn't much built-in with HP-UX. The SMH-based tools are functional but not much in terms of eyecandy. One exception I can think of is pdweb (peripheral devices) which can be useful if you want to show how you can replace I/O cards online.
You can run GlancePlus, initiate load, and show the usage by processor graph (example attached). Openview Performance Manager also can generate nice graphics but it's an add-on product. I haven't tried Capacity Advisor yet.
Look at iozone, with the vizualizer script. Screenshot here:

The standalone ServiceGuard manager was REALLY nice, my managers appreciated seeing it (especially considering they invested a lot in this) but unfortunately it has been discontinued. HP even featured it in some HA video, a year after it was canned!! It's terrific and it will work if you have an older ServiceGuard version (<= 11.17).
If you've got blades, show them the GUI for the Onboard Administrator. Really nice too.
The iLO GUI can be interesting. Showing remote console, and especially remote power-on / power-off.
Good luck

Re: graphical monitoring of usage and other misc
While it is not built in or free, there are the VSE tools. This includes screens to visualize your complex, and they monitor the utilization of CPU, memory, disk, network, and power. It comes with a 90 day free trial.
