Level 2: Implementation By The Ibm Director Agent - IBM 88743BU - System x3950 E User Manual

6.5.5 Level 2: Implementation by the IBM Director agent

The IBM Director agent enables all the agent options, which are used for
communication and management of the system. Functions vary, depending on
the operating system and type of hardware.
The use of the IBM Director agent requires installation of the service processor
driver. The x3850 M2 and x3950 M2 is shipped with the RSA II so installing the
BMC driver is not necessary.
Installation of the RSA II device driver
Section 6.2.6, "Implementing the RSA II in the operating system" on page 329
describes how to install the device driver in the Linux and Windows operating
systems.
Installation of the IBM Director agent
IBM Director agent is on IBM Director installation CD or you can download it as
single installation package from:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/downloads.html
