13.1 Overview of the PSP installation tool
The Insight Control for Linux
installation tool enables you to install any or all PSP components
on one or more

drivers, utilities, and management agents.
The Insight Control for Linux PSP installation tool is available from the HP Insight Control user
interface;:
Deploy
→Deploy Drivers, Firmware, and Agents→Install ProLiant Support Pack (PSP)...
NOTE:
The Deploy
→Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents→IC-Linux→Install ProLiant Support
Pack task cannot be used on managed systems running VMware ESX or VMware ESXi.
Use the Configure
→Configure or Repair Agents... task to deploy VMware ESX agents.
The WBEM providers (agents) are embedded in VMware ESXi purchased from HP.
The Insight Control for Linux PSP installation tool is provided as a way for you to install PSP
components in addition to the components that are installed automatically.
IMPORTANT:
The PSP installation tool requires that SSH credentials are entered into HP SIM for
the target managed systems. Thus, enter the SSH credentials for the target managed systems if you
have not already done so.
Select the following menu item from the Insight Control user interface and update the SSH Settings:
