Instrumentation for a hardware vendor component has to be running on the managed server in order for the console application to be able to manage/monitor it. A check box is provided for the different instrumentation that can be installed as part of the Dell HIP node installation process.

To install a particular hardware component, check the box corresponding to the hard- ware installed on the managed server. The drivers for the respective hardware must be installed prior to installation of the instrumentation. In some cases, the driver is included as part of the Dell HIP managed node installation process when the compo- nent is chosen (for example, DRAC version 2.0).

After the chosen hardware component instrumentation is installed as part of the Dell HIP node installation, remember to reboot the system. The instrumentation and required services start automatically. If they fail to start, that component may not be manageable from the management console.

NOTE: The Dell Inspector is automatically installed when the Dell managed node is installed. On the managed node server, the Dell Inspector starts a service called dmisrv for use with the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) database. Program folders allow for launching the Dell Inspector from the Start button.
