Insight Manager Question

[Mark J. Francisco]

Does anyone know which management agent or file gives the version number of the managements agents installed on a server?

We are trying to produce a script to run on a number of servers in order to find out which version are on each server.

Thanks,
mark

Mark,

1) I think http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/categoryhome.do?categoryId=455 is right forum for this question

2) With HP Insight manager you can easily create report to see managements agents vesions. Insight manager has many nice features and it is free:

3) You can check version of exe files in C:\WINDOWS\system32\CpqMgmt\ folder, for example C:\WINDOWS\system32\CpqMgmt\cqmghost\cqmghost.exe

Which specific file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\CpqMgmt\ would we actually pinpoint that would tells us "hey, we need to update our SIM?"

Thanks,

Mark, you're looking for more than just "a file." There are interdependencies between different modules and drivers. That's why they are all delivered together as the ProLiant Support Pack, all of the modules and drivers tested and delivered together.

The easiest thing to do in the absence of setting up the Version Control infrastructure is to take the current PSP and it will show you the versions of the components that are currently installed.

For more info, see http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim --> Information Library --> Version Control documents for HP ProLiant and Integrity Systems
