SIM & Netserver, Vli8, Kayak XW etc

Ed Williams — Wed, 16 Jun 2004 15:52:56 GMT

Hiya,

Question with the new SIM4.1 does it manage the Netservers through TopTools Agents ? And also the Vli8s and Kayak XW throught either TopTolls or there Insight version Agents and what is the loss between the two agents ?

IE if I dont use Toptools as the management frontend - but have TT Agents ???

Are the new Insight Agents as good as the Toptools ones on the old equipment

Thanks for any help

Ed

Insight agents are only for ProLiant servers. Netservers will use TT agents. Full details at http://www.hp.com/servers/proliant --> ISS Technoloogy Papers --> Advanced Technology --> Systems Management. The document was written for IM7 but it is all the same except you don't need to manually compile the MIB, it's already included.

TopTools for Clients has been replaced with HP Client Manager: http://www.hp.com/go/easydeploy
