The Storage agent and Insight Management Agents are designed to collect and report information on
storage that is viewed as belonging to the single host server. Multi-host storage on the network, such
as SANs, is not reported through the Insight Management Agents. It is managed using WBEM-based
Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) Storage Providers. Additional information on HP
support for SMI-S is available at http://www.compaq.com/storage/smis.html.
NIC agent
The NIC agent collects and stores information about the network controllers installed in the managed
server. Some of the information is collected through the NIC miniport driver. Other information is
actually collected by the Windows OS and stored in MIB-II in the registry. Table 4 lists the categories
and sources of information collected and displayed for the network controllers.
