The HP Insight Management Agents provide system status information that you can monitor your system using HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM). The System Management Homepage is software that provides an interface between the management agents and the manageability tools, organizing information from HP Insight Management Agents for display in a Web page.
You can install and configure HP Insight Management Agents on your Integrity server after installing a supported Linux operating system—either RHEL or SLES. See the“Preface” for directions about accessing the operating system support matrix.
The rest of this chapter provides more information about HP Manageability Tools, HP Insight Management Agents, the HP System Management Homepage, and HP Management Base.
