Installation Manual

HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 Installation Guide 3
3 Install a CIM Extension on each host
(other than the management server)
from which you want the management
server to be able to obtain
information. The CIM Extension
gathers information from the operating
system and host bus adapters on the
host. It then makes the information
available to the management server.
It is possible to install, upgrade, and
manage CIM Extensions remotely
across any number of hosts. See
”Deploying and Managing CIM
Extensions” on page 181.
HP Storage Essentials Standard
Edition supports a subset of the
devices supported by Enterprise
Edition. See the HP Storage Essentials
Standard Edition Support Matrix for a
list of supported devices. The support
matrix is accessible from the
Documentation Center (Help >
Documentation Center in Storage
Essentials).
IMPORTANT: Do not install CIM
extensions on the management
server.
