Remote support and analysis tools HP Insight Remote Support software HP Insight Remote Support software delivers secure remote support for your HP Servers and Storage, 24 X 7, so you can spend less time solving problems and more time focused on your business. You can have your systems remotely monitored for hardware failure using secure technology that has been proven at thousands of companies around the world. In many cases, you can avoid problems before they occur. There are two HP Insight Remote Support solutions: • For small and midsize environments: HP Insight Remote Support Standard provides basic remote monitoring, notification/advisories and service dispatch. It is optimized for environments with 1 to 50 servers and can be installed on a shared HP ProLiant Windows application server. The software supports HP EVA storage devices, HP ProLiant, BladeSystems, HP Integrity and HP 9000 servers running Microsoft Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Novell SUSE and Novell Netware.

It provides comprehensive remote monitoring, notification/advisories, dispatch and proactive service support for nearly all HP servers, storage, network and SAN environments, plus selected Dell and IBM Windows servers that have a support obligation with HP.

Keeping the system current Drivers The server includes new hardware that may not have driver support on all operating system installation media. If you are installing a SmartStart-supported operating system, use the SmartStart software (on page 47) and its Assisted Path feature to install the operating system and latest driver support. NOTE: If you are installing drivers from the SmartStart CD or the Software Maintenance CD, refer to the SmartStart website (http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart) to be sure that you are using the latest version of SmartStart. For more information, refer to the documentation provided with the SmartStart CD. If you do not use the SmartStart CD to install an operating system, drivers for some of the new hardware are required. These drivers, as well as other option drivers, ROM images, and value-add software can be downloaded from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support). Configuration and utilities 59
