Configuration
ESMPRO consists of a Manager program that runs on Windows 2000 and an Agent program that
runs on servers to be managed.
The Manager collects hardware, software, and firmware information from Agents
!
connected to the network. The Manager displays Agent information, failures, and error
logs on the screen.
The Agent monitors server hardware, software, and firmware and transmits the
!
information over the network to the Manager using SNMP. The Agent lets you view
system settings and reset some ESMPRO thresholds locally.
Each managed server must have the Agent installed and running. Using SNMP, the Agent sends
data across the network to the Manager, which collects the server information. In addition, when
you install both IIS and Web Component on the Manager computer, you can manage the servers
through the Web browser. The following figure shows a sample Manager/Agent Configuration.
