Target systems
Target systems are managed by Vulnerability and Patch Management. HP recommends installing HP
Management Agents on ProLiant target systems to allow HP SIM to better identify the target systems. Enable
WMI or Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) for other target systems. The VPM Patch Agent is
automatically deployed when target systems are licensed to allow patches to be applied to the systems.
Secure Shell (SSH) must be installed on Linux target systems.
For a list of supported target systems, see the support matrix.
