Getting started in an environment of servers, OS etc. spread over several domains.

[OhhBee-1]

Hi,

This is my situation: several servers(500-600) which have different agents, agents versions and some no agents whatsoever.

Some I have managed to put under management by using the configure-repair tool ( these are only servers placed in the same domain as the CMS, by the way), some fail.

What would be the best way to grab this seemingly vast task by the horn?

The only thing I want from these servers for starters is basic HD baseline, disk thresholds. Which agents need to be installed to provide this for me?

Does OpenSSH need to be installed on the target system in order to put it under management(from the CMS)? Is there any other way? Does this install require a reboot of the system?

Any hints you can give me otherwise?

thank you
