Monitoring Clients?

[romanholz]

I´ve installed Hpsim and discovered the HP Clients (Deskpro & Evo) in my Network. The used protocol is only dmi, no SNMP. What options did à have if i want to monitor the Hardware Status of Clients? Does the Hpsim discover Hardware faults and generate a critical event if i start a dmi-Polling?

Thanks for all respo

The HP Insight Manager agents for clients is available at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/support/files/hpcpqdt/us/download/20441.html. If you do a custom install, you can choose SNMP agent and optionally install the web agent similar to the ProLiant agents. This version from Dec 03 is the last and final version and won't be updated for new platforms that are introduced.

The preferred client management solution is HP Client Manager. Version 6.0 was recently announced with a "connector" for hpSIM. More info at http://h18000.www1.hp.com/im/client_mgr.html

(Note that the page says availability late March. My understanding is that it's late April now.)
