HP Device Manager 4.6 - Deployment Guide

Overview

The purpose of this document is to assist customers who are planning the architecture of HP Device Manager (HPDM)

components and configuring those components for the number of devices that will be managed. This document focuses on

managing larger device deployments using HPDM. This document also includes tips to fine-tune the performance of HPDM.

After the installation of HPDM, it can be divided into the following components:

• HPDM Console

• HPDM Server

• Database (Here it means MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL is taken as an inner part of Server)

• HPDM Gateway

• Master Repository

• Child Repository (not necessary)

• HPDM Agent (pre-installed on device)

Typical HPDM Topology

The following diagrams show the topology of a typical HPDM deployment.

If you want to generate templates through the FTP Software Component Broswer, make sure that the HPDM Console and

Master Repository can reach to HP FTP Server, either through direct connection or an HP FTP Proxy configuration.
