Tools

Web tools

Web tools must reside on a Web server. The Web server can be running on the CMS or a managed system. HP Systems Insight Manager launches the URL from a CLI or GUI. When a Web tool is launched from the command line, HP Systems Insight Manager opens a browser to display the tool. When a Web tool is launched from the HP Systems Insight Manager GUI, it opens in the workspace or in a separate browser window.

X Window tools

X Window tools require that an X server is running. These tools can reside on the CMS or on a managed system. When accessing HP Systems Insight Manager from a network client, you must have X server software running on the network client to execute an X Window tool. From the CLI or GUI, HP Systems Insight Manager invokes the X Window application using the command line and passes the location of the X server by requesting the device for display from the user.

Command line tools

Command line tools include applications, commands, and scripts. They can reside on the CMS or another managed system. They can be launched directly from the CLI or GUI.
