Server agent
The Server agent collects the basic server information, including the server’s key subsystems
configurations and health information. Table 2 lists the categories of information that the Server agent
collects and the sources from which this information is obtained.

Storage agent
The Storage agent collects and delivers the core storage-related information, including information on
storage controllers and their logical and physical drives. The storage agent supports HP SmartArray
controllers as well as Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and SAS HBAs. It also provides basic
information on storage box enclosures. The Storage agent obtains most of this information directly
from the disk controller firmware, although some of it is obtained directly from the drives (Table 3).
