Under the new architecture, the Compaq Management Agents for Servers are identifiable and installable as four components - namely the Compaq Foundation Agent, the Compaq Server Agent, Compaq Storage Agent and the Compaq NIC Agent. The Compaq Management Agents for Servers for Windows NT have two additional components - Compaq NT Management and Compaq Agent Event Notifier Under the new architecture, for post 3.86 releases, users have the choice to update individual pieces for new functionality, and need not update the entire agent. For example, if the user decided to add a new Storage subsystem to a server, only the Compaq Storage Agent component needs to be updated on the server. This architecture also positions Compaq to better address customer needs by delivering new agent functionality independent of hardware releases and expedite hardware releases by adding management support independent of each other. Compaq Foundation Agent - The Compaq Foundation Agent collects information for the host server, including clustering, software version, and external MIB status. It also provides threshold support and SNMP alerts. Compaq Server Agent - The Compaq Server Agent collects and displays configuration information on the system and the Remote Insight Board.
