Adding Workstations

Mark de Manbey_1 — Tue, 14 Feb 2006 04:17:25 GMT

Hi All.

I want to monitor a couple of hundred workstations, all HP. I've added them into SIM, and they're all viewable. However, SIM won't resolve any details. They all appear as status>unknown. Now obviously they're not ProLiant systems, so I guess I can't install a PSP, but I need to get some details for reporting purposes. Are there any workstation-like agents that can be installed? They all have snmp installed and enabled, and have all had SSH pushed down. I've managed to get HTTP on to one, by installing a system management homepage manually, but it still doesn't tell me exactly what the workstation is.

Any help woulld be greatly appreciated.

Mark,
You can install Insight Management Agent for Clients
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/hpcpqdt/us/download/18273.html
and use WBEM/WMI to collect data.
But HP DOESN'T SUPPORT Insight Management Agent for Clients and recommend HP Client manager solution
