Setting up managed systems using the HP Systems Insight Manager interface
The 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 Systems Insight Manager plug-in tool that simplifies
configuring Insight Management components for use on managed systems. 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.
