4 GUI or the HP Scripting Toolkit to configure the SNMP communication parameters and trap destination, you can start monitoring core hardware. On ProLiant Gen 8 servers, you can install the HP Agentless Management Service using: HP Intelligent Provisioning, Service Pack for ProLiant, or the VMware - HP ProLiant BL660c | HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 and HP Agentless Management - Page 4
capabilities in the OS. The software collects server-specific, OS-specific, and industry-standard data. The service bundles the data and makes it available to either the System Management Homepage or a remote management application, such as HP SIM. Figure 2 provides an overview of the traditional - HP ProLiant BL660c | HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 and HP Agentless Management - Page 5
from the server processor and OS, you can start monitoring your ProLiant Gen8 server's core hardware components before installing the OS or any OS-based software (a bare metal server). To monitor a bare metal ProLiant Gen8 server, you need only to power on the server and configure the SNMP - HP ProLiant BL660c | HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 and HP Agentless Management - Page 6
