3 Setting up managed systems
Setting up managed systems involves installing the required Management Agents software and
configuring the supported protocols to communicate with the Systems Insight Manager software.
Setting up Windows servers to be managed by Systems Insight Manager
To be fully managed by Systems Insight Manager, HP ProLiant servers running Windows should
have the Insight Management Agents or HP WBEM Providers installed. These agents are part of
the ProLiant Support Pack. See below for instructions on how to do this through Systems Insight
Manager. You can also configure these agents to be installed as part of your normal operating
system deployment procedures. For third party servers, enable WMI and/or SNMP in the operating
system. Systems Insight Manager attempts to retrieve information that is instrumented in an
industry-standard way. After setting up the management agents on the managed systems, the
remaining configuration can be done from the Systems Insight Manager user interface. Continue
to Chapter 4
for further information.
