You can install the Insight Providers using the
PSP. The Insight Providers are included with PSP v8.00 and later,
but are not installed by default (version 2.3.0.0 of the Insight
Providers are included with PSP v8.20). However, SNMP-based Insight
Management Agents are installed by default.
To install the Insight Providers, perform the
following tasks:
Verify that the target servers are on the
supported hardware list. See "Hardware
support."
Verify that the target server has a
supported operating system installed. See "Operating
system support."
Log in as an administrator on the target
server.
To begin the installation, run HPSUM.exe.
This initiates the HP Smart Update Manager
graphical interface. The Inventory Progress Screen appears while
the HP Smart Update Manager builds the inventory. After the
inventory process is complete, the Select Installation host screen
appears.
Select the local or remote host for
installation, and then click Next.
The Select Bundle Filter screen appears,
displaying defined bundles.
Select the bundles to install, and then
click Next.
The screen displays a list of components to
install.
Select the components to install:
For 32-bit Windows® environments, under
Optional Updates, select HP Insight
Management WBEM Providers for Windows Server®
2003/2008.
For x64 64-bit Windows® environments, under
Optional Updates, select HP Insight
Management WBEM Providers for Windows Server® 2003/2008 x64
Editions.
To configure the installer to add a
low-level rights user for remote access to the Insight Providers,
perform the optional configuration steps below for the Insight
Providers Smart Component. This procedure provides most of the
access rights to allow a standard user account to view most of the
management information. An administrator account is needed to
perform certain management tasks such as rebooting a server.
For other methods available for granting
remote access to a standard user, see Security. To determine if you need
to perform the following configuration, see Best
practices.
Under Updates to be installed, locate the
component you selected for installation in step 7.
In the Optional Actions column of the
selected component, click Configure
Now.
Enter the username of the low rights user
in the Windows® Account Username textbox. For a domain user, use
the DOMAIN\USERNAME format.
Click Save. The Select Components to Be
Installed screen appears.
On the Select Components to Be Installed
screen, select the Reboot
option to reboot after components are installed.
Click Install.
To uninstall the Insight Providers, use Add or
Remove Programs for Windows Server® 2003 or Programs and Features
for Windows Server® 2008.
