HP Proliant: RAID Monitoring Software
I need to install the monitoring software for the RAID array on an HP ML110 G5 server. I think I need something like HP Insight Manager, but I want to check a few things before I download it at 500MB!
*I notice it seems to have a SQL Server Express or some other database in it. Does this need to be installed on the server? (Hopefully not!)
*Can I install the Insight Manager on my workstation and set it to monitor several servers, or does it have to be on the server itself?
*If I can install it on my workstation, do I have to install anything on the server? At the moment I have hardware RAID, so the server software doesn't have any idea about the RAID array.
Thanks!

Bad news for your server that HP ML110 G5 does not support ACU (Array Configuration Utility)
HP DOES NOT support ACU on 100 series servers so you may have to find an alternative third party tools. That is the reason why it does not come with the Proliant Support Pack ...

Great. I thought as much when it couldn't detect the driver for the RAID controller. I'm assuming there's no driver I can download to make it detect it - or do you have some HP document just to confirm it doesn't support the ACU?
Thanks

It is enough to install HP:

Also optionally, you may install these
"Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition"
