System type, OS type, and OS version information

When you configure a managed node, the system type, OS type, and OS version for the node are automatically entered when:

You configure a managed node by dragging or copying it from the Discovered Nodes list. This is only auto-discovered when you open the node property sheet or close or apply the Configure Managed Nodes dialog box.
The primary node name is entered in the Network tab.

If the value cannot be determined, the fields display "n/a" and you must specify the correct information. If the node is a type that is not supported by HPOM, the System Type field displays a value of "Other". Supported operating systems are shown on the Software Support Online web site support matrix.

NOTE:
It is important to correctly supply the system type, OS type, and OS version information. If you do not, you may see attempts to deploy the agent packages of the wrong architecture or errors related to auto-deployment of policies of the wrong architecture.
