I just finished my Insight 4.2 install successfully. However, can someone please lead me in the right direction on installing the agents on my servers. I cannot seem to find this. Thank you in advance.

You can use 7.30 SmartStart CD to install the complete Support Pack(which includes drivers, agents, utilities etc)or you can download it from the below link:

Thank you for your response. I am little hazy on how to proceed. From the link you provided, what do I need to download? Isnt there a way to push agents from my main Insight server so that I can manage drives, processors, etc?

You can push the complete support pack to the servers from HP SIM using Initial PSP Install task.
For that you need to setup a Version Control Repository with all the required Support Packs, then you need to discover those systems in SIM and then push the support packs.
I sugguest you to go through the documentation for that.

Thank you for your response. What method would you recommend using to get all the needed support packs? I have my respository setup.

Use 7.30 SmartStart CD and upload all the support packs to the repository. (There is an UI provided in Smart Start CD to upload the support packs)
