Backing up the server

After you complete the software installation and the server is operational, back up the server using
a tape backup system in conjunction with approved tape backup software.

Configuring network protocols

The TCP/IP and SNMP services are automatically installed. The HP Management Agents for servers
require TCP/IP and SNMP services to communicate with HP Systems Insight Manager. To disable
the SNMP service, see the Operating system documentation. Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2008
R2 Standard and Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2012 Standard require TCP/IP to be enabled.
