Firmware Requirements and Manageability
Firmware Requirements
System Firmware revision 1.61 or greater is required for Linux to be installed on your
Itanium 2-based system. To determine your current version, type "INFO FW" at the EFI
Shell prompt. The firmware revision should be 1.61 or later.
For more information on firmware, go to www.hp.com/go/bizsupport. Select “download
drivers/software,” then click on “workstation” under the “personal computing” heading. Scroll
down the page to “hp workstations - Itanium,” and click on the appropriate product (e.g. hp
workstation zx6000).
Manageability
TopTools
HP TopTools Device Manager (TTDM) is a Web-based tool for IA-32 systems that manages
and tracks network resources and monitors performance of machines running the TopTools
agents. TTDM runs only on IA-32 systems using Windows NT 4.0, 2000, and Windows XP
Professional. You can download TTDM for IA-32 Windows systems at
http://www.hp.com/toptools/ if you want to use such a machine to track resources and monitor
performance on an Itanium 2-based system running TopTools agents.
Based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), TopTools agents allow you to
remotely monitor information about your Itanium 2-based system from any SNMP browser.
The SNMP agents for TopTools that enable remote management capabilities on your Itanium
2-based system are available at http://www.software.hp.com. For more details on using the
SNMP protocol, see http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net.
