Using a combination of HP Agentless Management, SNMP
Agents, and WBEM providers
The HP Agentless Management Service can run concurrently with our OS-based management
software. Although possible, we recommend running only one: either the HP Agentless Management
Service or our OS-based management software. Running both concurrently consumes more memory
and processor cycles. Additionally, using both HP Agentless Management, status agreement, and the
SNMP Agents may result in different alerts or duplicate alerts in HP SIM.
If HP SIM has identified that HP Agentless Management is in use, HP SIM goes to the iLO
Management Engine first to gather data. If both the iLO Management Engine and Agents and
Providers are monitoring a particular component, HP SIM may receive duplicate data, a subset of
data, or a superset of data for that component.
To eliminate duplicate monitoring, perform either of the following procedures:
• Stop or uninstall the HP Agentless Management Service. Stopping the HP Agentless Management
Service stops the service until you reboot the server. Upon reboot, it is re-enabled.
• Uninstall the Agents or Providers by using the install or remove software tool available in your OS.
