SNMP service must be installed before the Insight
Management Agents for Servers are installed.
SNMP
SNMP Preinstallation
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.
NOTE: For Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server® 2008, SNMP is included in the
base product but is not installed.
