Setting up managed systems using the HP Systems Insight Manager interface
The HP Insight managed system setup wizard and Configure or Repair Agents tools, enable you
to configure your managed systems by installing agents, applying licenses, and executing
configuration steps. To run these tools against multiple systems simultaneously, you must have
authorizations to run the managed system setup wizard and Configure or Repair Agents tools. You
must have full CMS configuration privileges to modify the HP Systems Insight Manager community
strings in the node security file. In addition, you must enter root or administrator level user credentials
for the target system.
The Insight managed system setup wizard is a HP Systems Insight Manager plug-in tool that simplifies
configuring Insight software components for use on managed systems. The wizard is especially
useful to configure managed systems for use with HP Insight Dynamics components, but it can also
be used to set up managed systems for Insight Control and HP Systems Insight Manager.
