HP Insight mxsync utility
If the CMS environment is lost or corrupted, it might be necessary to restore the environment from
a backup copy. The purpose of the mxsync utility is to simplify resynchronization of the environment
after the data has been restored. The utility analyzes the post-restore environment and performs
the recommended corrective actions.
The mxsync utility includes only Systems Insight Manager, Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager,
and Matrix Operating Environment plug-ins.
HP Insight managed system setup wizard
The HP Insight managed system setup wizard is a Systems Insight Manager plug-in tool that simplifies
configuring Insight Management components for use on managed systems. Configuration tasks
include assignment of licenses, agent deployment, and other configuration checks and actions.
The wizard is especially useful to configure managed systems for use with Matrix Operating
Environment components, but it can also be used to set up managed systems for Insight Control
and Systems Insight Manager.
Insight Management Advisor
The Insight Management Advisor analyzes and tests your current software and hardware environment
to ensure that it meets installation criteria before you begin an installation or upgrade process. The
results identify issues or deficiencies with the target server that would cause issues with Systems
Insight Manager and its integrated Insight Management components.
However, you can install and run the Insight Management Advisor at any time after installation to
provide diagnostic information on conditions that might affect the performance of Systems Insight
Manager and any Insight Management component.
