5.8 Managing hp vectras


Managing HP Vectras requires that the HP Vectras have a toptools agent installed and running . The toptools agent
can be downloaded from the HP web site at

http://www.hp.com/toptools

.


Toptools functionality is displayed on the nested menu shown when right clicking the mouse on a selected HP
Vectra icon, or when pulling down the Tools->Toptools menu from NNM. The feature set is the same as for HP
Kayaks. Figure 5-6 shows the menu that is available when an HP Vectra is selected.

The amount of enabled menu items is dependent on the capability of the selected Vectra. If two or more Vectras are
selected, the menu items depend on the capabilities of the selected Vectras.

Figure 5-6. The number of enabled Toptools menu items depends on the Vectra's DMI version.

The toptools actions listed for HP Vectras are similar to the actions listed for HP Kayaks shown earlier. In this
section, the Properties action will be explored. For details on other menu items, see the previous section on
Managing HP Kayaks.

Property pages for an HP Vectra are shown in Figure 5-7. Property pages contain up to seven sub-pages selectable
via tabs with the labels: Identity, Status, Configuration, Security, Reports, e-Diagtools, and Support. The main
difference between the pages for HP Vectras, Kayaks, and Omnibooks is the Identity page, where different banners
and photos are used depending on the remote system product type.
