InMon Traffic Sentinel Installation and Getting Started Guide 2009-01

 4
Overview
The HP ProCurve Services zl Module is shipped from the factory ready for the Traffic
Sentinel software image to be downloaded and installed. It does not have any specific
application software or an application-related operating system already installed.
Instead, a resident Service OS provides the ability to download, install and activate a
complete operating system image that includes the Traffic Sentinel application.
After the Traffic Sentinel image is downloaded, installed and activated on the Services
zl Module, it becomes joined to that one particular module. Since Services zl Module is
not shipped with any specific network function or service until a “Product OS” image is
added, it provides a unique ability to become a dedicated “appliance within a switch”
after the Traffic Sentinel image is installed and activated.
This document describes the steps needed to install and activate Traffic Sentinel on the
Services zl Module. Because the Services zl Module is not a server device, it is
necessary to follow the steps described in this document to successfully complete the
installation.
