HP (Hewlett-Packard) DL180 Server User Manual


 
While ProLiant 100 series G6 servers do not support the Insight
Foundation Suite for ProLiant, they support a key subset of this
important suite software tools and utilities which are very suitable for this
class of server: SIM, SMH, agents, providers, and a SmartStart 'like'
deployment CD called Easy Set-up which greatly simplifies server set-
up. Additionally the DL100 and SL100 G6 models support the
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (SSSTK), an automated scalable
deployment utility.

Administrators can also use any other SNMP- based management
tool. These agents are obtained as part of the ProLiant 100-series
model-specific "Easy Set-up" CDs, or through:
