1 System Requirements ISC consists of console software and instrumentation software. You install and run console software on the system from which you are going to monitor and control other servers referred to as managed servers. A managed server is an Intel® Architecture (IA) platform with ISC Platform Instrumentation software installed and running. The system running the console software is sometimes referred to as the client workstation or client.
Chapter 1 System Requirements To monitor and control managed servers, you can use either the ISC Stand-alone Console that is included during ISC installation or a supported Enterprise System Management Console (ESMC). Two supported ESMC applications exist: • Hewlett-Packard OpenView† Network Node Manager 6.2 for Windows NT • Computer Associates Unicenter† The Next Generation 2.2.
2 Installing and Upgrading ISC The ISC installation process is designed to enable you to install the software over several machines at once. The process also allows you to choose which ISC features you want to include as part of the installation. For the latest ISC installation information, refer to the README.TXT and ERRATA.TXT files that reside on the Resource CD. NOTE The amount of hard drive space required to install ISC varies depending on the number of components selected for installation.
