Setting up Linux servers to be managed by Systems Insight Manager

To be fully managed by Systems Insight Manager, HP ProLiant servers running Linux should have

the HP Insight Management Agents installed. These agents are part of the ProLiant Support Pack.

You can install the ProLiant Support Pack manually, or configure it to be installed as part of your

normal operating system deployment procedures.

After setting up the management agents on the managed systems, the rest of the configuration can

be done from the Systems Insight Manager UI. Continue to Chapter 4 “Credentials” (page 32) for

further information.
