Overview
Setting up managed systems involves installing the required management software. The management software
being installed depends on the type of managed system, for:
• Storage systems (see below)
• Windows systems (see below)
• HP-UX see the Systems Insight Manager 6.0 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX (http://
h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html)
• Linux see the Systems Insight Manager 6.0 Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux (http://
h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html)
Setting up managed systems using the Systems Insight Manager interface
The Managed System Setup Wizard and Configure or Repair Agents tools, enable you to configure your
managed systems by installing agents, applying licenses, and exectuting configuration steps. To run these
tools against multiple systems simultaneously, you must have authorizations to run the Managed System
Setup Wizard and Configure or Repair Agents tools. You must have full CMS configuration privileges to
modify the Systems Insight Manager community strings in the node security file. In addition, you must enter
root or administrator level user credentials for the target system.
• To run Configure or Repair Agents, select Configure→Configure or Repair Agents.
• To run the Managed System Setup Wizard, select Configure→Managed System Setup Wizard.
NOTE: If you want the menu item Configure→Managed System Setup Wizard... to be enabled in
the Systems Insight Manager menu, you must select the Managed System Setup Wizard to be installed
through the Insight Software DVD. This menu item is not standard with the standalone Systems Insight
Manager install.
For more information on these tools, see HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 User Guide at http://

Manager help system.
Setting up managed storage systems
Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) is a Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA)
standard that enables interoperable management for storage networks and storage devices. Systems Insight
Manager uses this standard to discover and manage the storage systems it supports.
