Installing the HP Insight Providers
Insight Providers Smart Components
The Insight Providers include server, storage, and network providers as well as a WMI-based SMH
WebApp. These are all packaged in a single Smart Component, which is included with the Windows®
PSP. This feature enables you to install, uninstall, and version-control the Insight Providers as a single
entity.
For version 2.3.0.0 of the Providers, two Smart Components are available for supporting Windows
Server® 2003 and Windows Server® 2008:
• The cp009269.exe Smart Component supports Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server®
2008 32-bit Editions.
• The cp009271.exe Smart Component supports Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server®
2008 x64 Editions.
You can install the Insight Providers Smart Components using all methods available to other Smart
Components. You can also install the Insight Providers as part of a SmartStart Assisted Path installation of
the Windows® operating system.
Upgrading a previously installed version of the Insight Providers to version 2.3.0.0 might take several
minutes. It is normal for the installation progress bar to stop for several minutes while the previous version
of the Insight Providers is removed. Do not cancel the installation at this time.
Additionally, during an upgrade, Windows® might log a message to the Windows® Application Log
indicating that a reboot is required. This message can be safely ignored; a reboot is not required to
upgrade to version 2.3.0.0 of the Insight Providers.
Installing the Insight Providers with the PSP
You can install the Insight Providers using the PSP. The Insight Providers are included with PSP v8.00 and
later, but are not installed by default (version 2.3.0.0 of the Insight Providers are included with PSP
v8.20). However, SNMP-based Insight Management Agents are installed by default.
To install the Insight Providers, perform the following tasks:
1. Verify that the target servers are on the supported hardware list. See "Hardware support (on page
35)."
2. Verify that the target server has a supported operating system installed. See "Operating system
support (on page 34)."
3. Log in as an administrator on the target server.
4. To begin the installation, run HPSUM.exe.
This initiates the HP Smart Update Manager graphical interface. The Inventory Progress Screen
appears while the HP Smart Update Manager builds the inventory. After the inventory process is
complete, the Select Installation host screen appears.
