Types of Managed Systems

Agentless

– Best for environments that require very small footprints and are used for specific tasks, such as one-time inventory collection, firmware and driver updates and remote deployment

Platform Agent

– Well suited for environments that require a smaller footprint without sacrificing a high level of manageability

Common Agent

– Provides a rich set of security, deployment, and management function


IBM Power Systems

56

Agent Level Protocols

Agentless– Secure Shell (SSH)– Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM)– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Platform Agent– Director-defined protocol

Common Agent– Director-defined protocol

Operating System Support notes

1 Agentless support includes only Discovery,limited remote access, limited subset of the Agent installation Wizard and ability to launch AIX Management Console

Common Agent is installed with AIX; it is not started by default. 2 Platform-agent managed system support is provided by the 5722-UME

product. 4 For IBM i 5.4, the richer set of features and subagent tasks provided

by the Common Agent is supported with the Director 5.20 Agent for IBM i that is currently available.

Platform Agent V6.1 and IBM Director Core Services V5.20.3 are the same agent.

Unless stated otherwise, IBM Systems Director provides Agentless support for all operating systems listed.
