HP Insight Management 7.3 Preinstallation worksheet

3 Gathering data to finish the HP Insight Management
installation
This chapter contains the information required in Chapter 3: Finishing the HP Insight Management
Installation of the HP Insight Management Installation and Configuration Guide.
For some tasks, the information required depends on what products and features you installed or
are configuring. As a result, these tasks have no table for you to record information, but do provide
references for you to review to determine what information you need for your configuration.
Some tasks require the same information multiple times. When defining discovery tasks, for example,
you create multiple discovery tasks, giving each one a unique name. The information required,
however, is the same, so you will find one table specifying the information required. You might
want to print the table multiple times, one for each item.
You will also find, for some tasks, that you might want to enter the same type of information multiple
times. When defining discovery tasks or configuring IO features, for example, you can enter multiple
sets of credentials that the configuration wizards try in succession when accessing products. These
are noted within the table.
Defining discovery tasks
The table provides space for one discovery task to indicate the information required. You will need
the same information for each discovery task you define.
