  • The operating system on the target server is not supported. Windows and Linux operating systems are supported.

  • The correct version of the agent is not on the target system.

  • The target server type brand is not supported (only HP or Compaq brand servers are supported).

  • The target system is not licensed for monitoring by the HP ProLiant Essentials Performance Management Pack (PMP). The target system must have the HP Insight Management Agent 6.20 or later installed.

  • PMP reports an indeterminate status for the system.
