3.3.8 Retired Solutions

The Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) introduced the Desktop Management Interface
(DMI) standard almost ten years ago. Due to new standards adoption such as the Common
Information Model (CIM), the DMTF has initiated end-of-life for DMI. Given other
advancements in HP Client Management Solutions, HP Systems Insight Manager, and
Microsoft's implementation of CIM, known as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI),
the HP Insight Management Agent is no longer being provided on new HP commercial desktop,
workstation, and notebook models introduced after January 1, 2004.
The Insight Management (IM) Agent provided the following features:
■
DMI support allowed a client system to be managed by Insight Manager 7 or other
DMI-compliant management applications.
■
A Web agent allowed the system to be managed both locally and remotely by a web browser.
■
Health alerting could notify the user locally or be sent to a central console.
Insight Manager has been replaced by HP Systems Insight Manager Software (HP SIM). HP SIM
uses WMI to retrieve client system information. The Altiris Connector for HP Systems Insight
Manager is available and enables the HP Client Management Solutions through the HP SIM
console.
HP Client Management Solutions support reporting of health alerts to a system management
console or optionally to be displayed locally on the client computer. Microsoft WMI is standard
with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. WMI provides hardware inventory and alert information
directly through the Windows OS to a system management application.
