SNMP SNMP service must be installed before the Insight Management Agents for Servers
are installed.
Preinstallation of SNMP
SNMP must be installed on your system before you install the Insight Management Agents for Servers.
SNMP services must be installed to take full advantage of the management capabilities provided with the ProLiant
server. Failure to install SNMP prevents the HP Systems Insight Manager and other enterprise management
applications from receiving hardware pre-failure alerts and disables Insight Manager Functions, such as advanced
ProLiant status polling, inventory reporting, and version control.
If SNMP is installed after the Insight Management Agents are installed, the Management Agents must be reinstalled.
Before proceeding with the agent installation, complete the procedures in the following sections of this guide.
