2 Gathering data for an installation or upgrade

When you install or upgrade the Insight software, the wizard-based installation interface presents you with a series of screens which require you to supply information. The HP Insight Software Installation and Configuration Guide steps you through each screen of the installation interface, however, before you begin, HP recommends that you use the tables in this chapter to prepare for and record your responses for that information. The information you must gather depends on the Insight Software products you plan to install or upgrade. The data you will need for each Insight software feature is listed in its own table, so you can skip those tables that do not apply.

How to use the tables in this worksheet

The data gathering table for each software feature contains most of the following columns: Type of installation Identifies the type of installation that requires the information. For instance, new installations might require information that upgrades do not. The installation types are: New - installs Insight software on a CMS that did not have it before. Upgrade - upgrades an existing, older version of a software product on the CMS to the latest version. Reuse - reuses an existing installed software product. Reuse occurs when the Insight software installer detects that the installed software version matches the version intended to be installed.

Local or remote server Identifies whether the information is required for the local or remote server. Most software products are installed only locally on the CMS, and their associated table do not contain this column. Information to collect Lists the information you must collect or the question you must answer. Description Provides a description of the information, why it is required, and where it is used (if known). Possible Value Lists possible valid values to assist you with your response. Your Value Provides space for you to record your information.

3 Gathering data to finish the HP Insight software installation

This chapter contains the information required in Chapter 3: Finishing the HP Insight Software installation of the HP Insight Software Installation and Configuration Guide. For some tasks, the information required depends on what products and features you installed or are configuring. As a result, these tasks have no table for you to record information, but do provide references for you to review to determine what information you need for your configuration. Some tasks require the same information multiple times. When defining discovery tasks, for example, you create multiple discovery tasks, giving each one a unique name. The information required, however, is the same, so you will find one table specifying the information required. You might want to print the table multiple times, one for each item. You will also find, for some tasks, that you might want to enter the same type of information multiple times. When defining discovery tasks or configuring Insight Orchestration features, for example, you can enter multiple sets of credentials that the configuration wizards try in succession when accessing products. These are noted within the table.

Defining discovery tasks

The table provides space for one discovery task to indicate the information required. You will need the same information for each discovery task you define. Table 16 Information required for discovery task
