Configuration Manager requirements

For HP ProLiant servers to be managed by Configuration Manager, proper installation and configuration of either the HP Insight Management Agent or the HP Insight Management WBEM Providers is required. The HP Insight Management Agent and the HP Insight Management WBEM Providers are required only for Catalog firmware upgrades and are critical software for managing HP ProLiant servers.

The HP ProLiant Firmware Inventory Agent is needed for managing firmware updates in ProLiant servers with PSP 8.0 and older. For more details about the ProLiant Firmware Inventory Agent, see the HP ProLiant Firmware Inventory Agent section.

NOTE: The HP ProLiant Firmware Inventory Agent detects HP Firmware versioning during the Configuration Manager scan cycle and is not the HP Inventory Tool which collects specific HP ProLiant Server hardware attributes.

For more information on the HP Inventory Tool, see the HP ProLiant Hardware Inventory Tool for Configuration Manager 2007 User Guide.
