data from managed systems. This deployment is performed automatically as part of the
Options

IC-LinuxConfigure Management Services task.

You can deploy the HP Insight Control for Linux management agents manually at any time to
reinstall agents on a managed system. For example, in case the agents failed to install during the
Options

IC-LinuxConfigure Management Services task or if you reimaged a managed

system that you want to monitor.

This task requires that HP SIM SSH keys be successfully configured on all managed

systems. For more information, see
