2 Installing the HP Insight Providers
Insight Providers Smart Component
HP Insight Providers include server, storage, and network providers as well as WMI-based SMH.
These providers are all packaged in a single Smart Component, which is included with the Windows®
PSP. This feature enables you to install, uninstall, and update the Insight Providers as a single entity.
For Insight Providers 2.7.0, two Smart Components are available for supporting Windows Server®
2003 and Windows Server® 2008:
• The cp012931.exe Smart Component supports Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server®
2008 32-bit Editions.
• The cp012930.exe Smart Component supports Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server®
2008 x64 Editions.
You can install the Insight Providers Smart Components using all methods available to other Smart
Components. You can also install the Insight Providers as part of a SmartStart Assisted Path installation
of the Windows® operating system.
Upgrading a previous version of Insight Providers to version 2.7.0 can take several minutes. It is
normal for the installation progress bar to stop for several minutes while the previous version is removed.
Do not cancel installation at this time.
Installing the Insight Providers from the Web Download
Insight Providers components and documentation is available on the HP Insight Management WBEM
Providers website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpwbem).
