One of the direct responses I received to my posting suggested
OpenVMS System Management Homepage (SMH).

HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) for OpenVMS is the single
system management solution for managing OpenVMS. HP SMH is also
available for HP-UX, Linux and Microsoft Windows systems.

The key features of HP SMH for OpenVMS are its system administration
capabilities and its ability to display details of hardware
attributes. The HP SMH solution provides an easy-to-use interface for
displaying hardware fault and status monitoring, system thresholds,
and diagnostics for an individual server by aggregating the data from
HP web-based agents.

I'm going to look into SMH, which seems to be a currently recommend
product for such things.

It can handshake with SIM, but I'm unclear about the relationship
between the two products.

I would really like a lightweight, easy-to-deploy solution, but all of
the current offerings
seems to be infrastructure-heavy mega-enterprise solutions.
