Management Agent 7.2 - how different from 7.1

[Bill_241]

Hi,

What are the major differences between MA 7.2 and MA 7.1? What should I consider before upgrading? Should I be in a "hurry" to upgrade?

I am currently running SIM 4.2, PMP 3.1. Most of my 200+ servers have MA 7.1.

Sorry if the answers to these questions are in an obvious spot. Before posting this thread I checked the forum, my agents themselves, and did a Web search without much luck.

Thank you,

Bill

The Home Page now uses Windows authentication so that you don't need all the silly 'administrator', 'operator', and 'user' accounts on each server.

HP Diagnostics now runs in the background and not as a service (whoopee!). You can now stop/restart the systems homepage service to reinitialize the HP web server so that PKI certificates and other settings can be easily reset without rebooting.

The network teaming software is very different..with more options and some automatic configuration features.
