24 HP MSA 500 G2 Storage System Maintenance and Service Guide

Management Agents

Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP Systems Insight Manager software, and third-party SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP. The System Management homepage provides status and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/manage).

Survey Utility

Survey Utility, a feature within Insight Diagnostics, gathers critical hardware and software information on ProLiant servers.

This utility supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server. For operating systems supported by the server, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com).

If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the Survey Utility marks the previous information and overwrites the Survey text files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.

Survey Utility is installed with every SmartStart assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP.
