1 Overview
This deployment guide is designed to demonstrate step by step the processes for installation of toptools
components. Each chapter is devoted to a specific HP Toptools component. This guide is meant to
present installation procedures and is not a comprehensive toptools manual. Additional information on the
various uses, features, functions and procedures can be found in the individual toptols component
manuals, online help, training, and on the HP Toptools website http://www.HP.com/toptools
1.1 HP Toptools
HP Toptools is a comprehensive hardware management solution for HP devices such as HP desktops,
notebooks, servers and printers . It’s web interface makes management across various device types
easy and intuitive. HP Toptools uses instrumentation standards such as SNMP, WBEM / WMI, DMI,
embedded web agents, and http. It also integrates with HP Web JetAdmin for the management of HP
printers and Servicecontrol Manager and EMS for managing HP-UX systems. It can also manage
devices from other vendors providing the manufacturer’s management agents are installed on the
devices.
HP Toptools enables efficient and automatic asset and inventory management, event management,
remote action and control of hardware, and performance monitoring of networked devices.
It should be noted however, that while HP Toptools lets you manage devices over a network, it is a device
management application, and is not intended to function as an open management platform whereas 3rd
party applications are integrated. Rather HP Toptools includes with the software integration solutions that
support enterprise management platforms such as HP OpenView.
1.2 Components
The HP Toptools solution relies on three key components:
A management console
An HP Toptools device manager
Manageable devices
1.2.1 Manageable devices
Devices such as HP desktops, workstations, notebooks, servers, network attached storage, hubs and
switches, printers, and HP-UX systems are instrumented to provide robust manageability. Agent software
or firmware provides the interface to the instrumentation embedded in HP hardware. Once an agent or
firmware is installed on a system the device becomes manageable.

Agent installation provides information such as the configuration of a device, its health, performance, OS,
hardware inventory, and security settings. Through toptools management functions such as BIOS and
firmware flashing, remote configuration and control, and security configuration are available from a web
browser.
The level of manageability available for a specific device will depend on the device itself and its supported
features, and the operating system/firmware running on the device.
Management agents monitor devices for specific parameters such as unused disk space, memory
configuration, resource utilization, temperature, and fan operation. Additionally, through interrogation of
the agents, HP Toptools provides OS version information, remote diagnostic capabilities, BIOS flashing
capabilities, firmware updates, and distribution of HP drivers.
HP Toptools manages devices based on industry standards including DMI, SNMP, WBEM / WMI, web
enabled devices (port 80 and 280), HTTP, and JetDirect cards.
1.2.2 The HP Toptools device manager
The role of the HP Toptools device manager is to collect DMI, SNMP, WMI and WBEM data provided by
agents running on managed devices and store the data in a database. device manager makes the device
information available in a web site.
HP Toptools uses modules known as plug-in’s. These plug-in’s provide the linkage between device
agents and the device manager. Additionally this architecture allows for extensibility of HP Toptools as
HP develops new hardware solutions. During installation, you will be prompted for the plug-ins and
integrations you wish to enable. Your choice should reflect the devices and systems in your environment
that you wish to manage with this installation. These device should also be made ready to be managed
by having the appropriate agents installed.
1.2.3 The management console
As an HP Toptools administrator, operator or user, you can access the toptools device manager using
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator from any workstation on the network, provided that you have the
proper authorization under a windows based domain or the local security settings of the system where
toptools is installed. Communication between the console web browser and the toptools device manager
uses the HTTP or HTTPS protocols, which simplifies remote connections through firewalls with
technologies such as VPN or RAS. Multiple console can access the toptools device manager
simultaneously.

3 Requirements and suggestions
3.1 Overview
This section will cover hardware, operating system and network requirements for the HP Toptools device
manager server. Suggestions will be provided for different configurations based primarily on a best
performance criteria. There are two schools of thought on whether the agents or the device manager
should be installed first. The first scenario involves installing the agents on the devices to be managed
and then installing the device manager. The second scenario involves the HP Toptools device manager
to be setup first. Using this method, you can have the HP Toptools device manager help you in the
deployment of agents. Chapter 5, 6 and 7 will cover the different agent deployment scenarios. For help
on how to installed the required components, please refer to the appendices section.
3.2 Requirement for the HP Toptools device manager server
3.2.1 Hardware requirements
Minimum requirements
• Dedicated Pentium 266 MHz or greater machine
• 128 MB RAM
• 2 GB NTFS hard drive
• Network enabled
Suggested system for managing large environment
If your environment contains more than 2000 nodes and/or you will be managing a variety of hardware
types, increase the system capability to:
• Dedicated Pentium II or III 400MHz or greater machine
• 256 to 512 MB RAM
• 2 GB NTFS hard drive
• Fast Network (100 Mb/s)
3.2.2 Operating system requirements
Requirements
• Clean Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 Workstation / Professional or Windows NT / 2000 Server
installed on hardware
• SNMP services installed, tested and running
• On Windows 2000, IIS must be installed
• TCP/IP installed and configured
• Proper Windows 2000 or NT software in hand during installation

HP Toptools
HP Toptools Deployment Guide Version 5.5
12
Other suggestions
• HP Toptools generates 2 connections per console and the limit on Workstation / Professional is
10 connections. If more than 5 people will be accessing the HP Toptools device manager server
at one time, use a server version of Windows NT / 2000 over Windows Workstation / Professional
and set licensing accordingly .
• For an easier and faster installation (fewer reboots and dependencies on service packs) ,
consider Windows 2000 over NT as most of the components required by HP Toptools are readily
available in Windows 2000.
• An NTFS partition is highly recommended but not required for your web server. NTFS will provide
file system security. If installed on a FAT partition, anyone can access the HP Toptools server.
Also, user role checking will not work on a FAT partition. All users would be considered toptools
Administrators in this situation.
• On a Windows NT system, after setup of SNMP services it will be necessary to reapply your
service pack. Currently SP3 is not year Y2K compliant. Use SP 6A, which is on the Toptools CD,
or SP4 or SP5. To minimize reboots and potential problems, answer “no” when prompted to
reboot after SNMP service setup. Apply the service pack, and then reboot. Always test SNMP
services by stopping them, restarting them, and verifying the event log for any anomalies.
• Do not setup the HP Toptools device manager on a backup domain controller or any other critical
system that requires peek performance during the time manageability is performed. Best
practices suggests installing the toptools device manager on a dedicated system or on a system
without scheduling conflict (ex: backup server operated during the night, toptools during the day)
• Always backup previous HP Toptools database information before updating to a new version of
HP Toptools. This can be accomplished by saving a backup copy of all the *.mdb files under the
\hptt subdirectory and recopying them after the upgrade. This can only be accomplished for
upgrades of HP Toptools 5.0 and hire. Data from HP Toptools 4.5 or earlier can not be used with
HP Toptools 5.0 or later.
3.2.3 network and domain requirements
• A fixed IP address for the HP Toptools device manager
• An existing domain admin account on the master domain
• Properly configured domain resolution model
• Internet access (firewall configuration)

4 Installation of the HP Toptools device manager
4.1 overview
This section focuses on the requirements and the installation process of the HP Toptools device
manager.
When installing the HP Toptools device manager there are two possible methods that can be used, an
interactive install over the internet or installation from a CD. To obtain the HP Toptools device manager
go to the HP Toptools web site at http://www.hp.com/toptools, here you can initiate the install or order the
CD (shipping and handling charges of $14.95).
If you select download, na install wizard is copied to your system and the interactive install begins. Note,
you will have to maintain a connection to the internet until install is completed. In the event of an error all
temporary files are removed and you must start the process again from the beginning.
The suggested approach is to order the HP Toptools from the web site at a cost of 14.95. This CD
includes the latest HP Toptools software and the HP Toptools enterprise solutions
- Notes -
There are special directions to work around the need for a constant connection if the “Download HP
Toptools” option is your preference. On the HP Toptools web site (http://www.hp.com/toptools) select
Documentation and then open the document titled How to install system software packages with HP
Toptools without direct Internet access.
If you upgrade from an earlier version of HP Toptools, backup all database files to ensure recovery in a
case of a problem (make copies of *.mdb files).
If you are using HP Toptools 4.5 or earlier software and you install toptools 5.5 you will lose configuration
and discovery data. You will need to rediscover your network.
On the proposed management system, start the installation by inserting the CD or start the interactive
internet install from the HP Toptools website.
Step 1. The welcome dialog
During the installation, you will see both a primary screen and a “status” screen. The “Installation Status”
screen will accompany each setup screen through the installation and provide an update of the install
process. The contents of this screen will vary depending on what components may already be installed
on your system. In the case where a critical component is missing, the wizard will install the components
or instruct you on how to install them yourself. You may also refer to the procedure in the appendices.

Step 2. System inspection
After you click Next, the HP Toptools installation wizard will inspect the target system; examining the
system configuration, checking for the presence of required software, gathering network information and
looking for any previous versions of toptools software.
- Note -
The HP Toptools installation wizard will not allow installation to proceed under the following conditions:
• Target OS is Win9x or pre-WinNT 4.0
• Current user does not have local administrative rights
• IP protocol is not installed or No IP information is available *
• Inadequate disk space on all found drives for a bare toptools install
*The system can be properly configured for IP using DHCP, but may not have obtained IP information from the DHCP server at the
time of installation. Since IP information is required, this will halt the installation. Although it is not recommended to install toptools
onto a system using DHCP, if the HP Toptools installation wizard detects the system is configured to use DHCP, a warning dialog will
be displayed. You must install HP Toptools onto a system with a static IP address, or configure the DHCP server to reserve an IP
address for this system as the trap destination for managed devicse will be registered to this IP address.
Step 3. Required system configuration
If any of the above conditions are true, the HP Toptools installation wizard will inform you in the following
dialog box. (The HP Toptools installation wizard will use the same dialog box to inform you of
recommendations.) To allow the HP Toptools installation wizard to continue click on the Finish button.

HP Toptools
HP Toptools Deployment Guide Version 5.5
15
Possible recommendations you will see are:
• CPU is not at least 266 MHz
• An IP ping of the default gateway and/or local system failed
• Target system has less than 128 MB of RAM
• Target system has a pagefile smaller than 150 MB
Step 4. Continue install wizard internet connection
If the HP Toptools installation wizard finds it can continue with installation, it will attempt to make a
connection to the HP Toptools website. If a failure occurs, you will be prompted by a dialog explaining
that the failure may be due to improperly configured network settings (if the IP pings performed during
system inspection failed), or improperly or non-configured proxy settings. The dialog will contain two (2)
buttons. One will launch the Network Settings applet, while the other will launch the Internet Connection
Wizard. There will also be a Skip, Next and Cancel button. Next will tell the Wizard to reattempt the
internet connection. If the connection fails, this dialog will be shown again. Skip will tell the Wizard to
ignore the failed internet connection. Cancel will exit the HP Toptools installation wizard.
- Note -
If the internet connection step is skipped, the databases (MEDS, ALERTS and RMDB) will be populated
with the data on the installation CD. It is recommended to create and maintain a live connection to the
internet in order to allow the HP Toptools installation wizard to check the HP Toptools website for patches
and/or updates, and to obtain the latest data for the databases.
Step 5. Upgrade previous toptools installation
The HP Toptools installation wizard will not upgrade a version of toptools earlier than 5.0. You will be
prompted to allow the HP Toptools installation wizard to uninstall any pre-5.0 toptools release. If the you
decline the uninstall, the HP Toptools installation wizard will exit.
The HP Toptools installation wizard will upgrade a toptools 5.0 installation.
Step 6. Component selection
The component selection dialog allows you to choose an installation location if this is the first time
toptools is being installed. If a previous version was found during system inspection, toptools will install in
this location and will not allow you to change location.

HP Toptools
HP Toptools Deployment Guide Version 5.5
16
Any toptools components already installed on the target system will be shown selected in the component
selection dialog. When Next is pressed, those components checked will be installed, and those
unchecked will be uninstalled. Any installed toptools components with versions newer than those on the
toptools media will not be touched.
The toptools device manager is not a selectable component. It is always selected for install and is only
unselected when uninstalling all of toptools. The toptools device manager will not be installed each time
the HP Toptools installation wizard is run, it will automatically be deselected if the same or newer version
is found installed.
It is suggested that you install toptools on an NTFS partition in order to benefit from the user model and
provide better security. Choose the destination accordingly in this section. Once you have chosen
destination and components click Next to continue.
Step 7. Integration selection
The integration selection dialog allows you to select integration or linkage, modules to configure with
toptools. Select the desired integration and click Next to continue.
- Note -
The “workgroup node manager” entry will only be displayed if hp workgroup node manager was
found installed on the target system. Be aware the “workgroup node manager” is part of the
Openview Professional Suite, a discontinued product. For information on how to integrate HP
Toptools with Openview Network Node Manager, refer to the HP Toptools web page at
www.hp.com/toptools
Step 8. HP Web JetAdmin integration
Because HP Web JetAdmin can run stand-alone, it may already be present on the HP Toptools system.
If it is present and Web JetAdmin is selected for installation, the HP Toptools installation wizard will create
a link to the installed Web JetAdmin if the version matches or is newer than that on the toptools media. If
the version of Web JetAdmin installed is older than the version on the toptools media, then the
component will be installed (upgraded) and then linked.
If Web JetAdmin is not installed on the HP Toptools system and it is selected for installation, you will be
presented with a dialog asking if you would like to install the Web JetAdmin software, or if you would like
to link to a Web JetAdmin installation which may be present on another system somewhere on the
network. Select your preference, fill in the needed information for Web JetAdmin, and click Next to
continue.

Step 9. ServiceControl Manager and other linkage modules
If SCM integration is selected, a dialog will be displayed requesting information for the module.
Step 10. Package download disk space
If the HP Toptools installation wizard is run as a web download, then after all component selections have
been made, the wizard will check the HP Toptools system for the required disk space needed to
download all required/selected software packages.

HP Toptools
HP Toptools Deployment Guide Version 5.5
18
If more space is required than available package downloads, you are presented with a message box
informing you how much additional space – in MB’s – is needed before the download can proceed. You
will be asked to make space available or exit the install.
If the HP Toptools installation wizard is run from a CD, this step is skipped.
Step 11. HP Toptools accounts
The HP Toptools installation wizard will configure two (2) user accounts to be used with toptools: The
“toptools service” account for the local service and the “toptools admin” domain account for WMI access
and agent deployment. These accounts replaces the “toptools user” from previous toptools versions.
They can also be existing accounts or renamed.
The “toptools service” user account
If this is a first time toptools install, you will be prompted with a dialog box asking for the password to use
with the “toptools service” user account, this will be created on the local system. You may specify a
different user account to use. If the account specified already exists, you will be prompted to supply the
password for that account.
The “toptools admin” domain user account
You are prompted with a dialog asking for the password to be used with the default domain user account
“toptools admin”.
If the HP Toptools system is a member of a domain, a drop down list-box is show with the available
domains, defaulting to the HP Toptools domain. You can specify a different domain or user account, or
create a new user account. If the “toptools admin” account specified does not exist, the HP Toptools
installation wizard will create the account providing the user has domain admin rights. If you do not have
domain admin rights, you will be informed that a domain admin will need to create the account specified
before functionality requiring the “toptools admin” account may be used.
If the “toptools admin” account specified does exist, you will need to supply the correct password. If you
do not supply the correct password, the HP Toptools installation wizard will continue to prompt you until
the correct password is given.

HP Toptools
HP Toptools Deployment Guide Version 5.5
19
If the target system is a member of a workgroup, the domain list-box will not be shown. The HP Toptools
installation wizard will create the user account, and you will be instructed that the specified account (user
name and password) will need to be present on each managed system where functionality such as WMI
access and agent deployment is desired.
The toptools user groups
The HP Toptools installation wizard will create the “toptools”, “toptools operators” and “toptools admins”
user groups on the HP Toptools system.
If the HP Toptools installation wizard is upgrading a toptools 5.0 installation and the system is a member
of a domain, all members of the existing domain groups, “toptools”, “toptools operators” and “toptools
admins” will be added to the local groups under the same name. If the target system is a member of a
workgroup, the local groups defined from toptools 5.0 will remain and be used by HP Toptools.
The HP Toptools installation wizard will configure toptools directory security using the locally defined
“toptools, “toptools operators” and “toptools admins” user groups.
Step 12. The toptools program group
If this is a first time install, you will be asked to specify the name of the toptools program group in which
the HP Toptools installation wizard will create its program icons. The default is “HP Toptools”. This
program group will be created under an “hp management software” program group.
If toptools is already installed, this dialog is not shown. However, the existing “HP Toptools” group and
icons will be moved under the new “hp management software” program group.

HP Toptools
HP Toptools Deployment Guide Version 5.5

Step 13. The toptools license agreement
The HP Toptools license agreement and warranty disclaimer will be displayed there are toptools
components selected for installation.
If you have read these agreements, and you choose to go Back and modify a selection, you will not be
presented with the agreements again. You will not be presented with this dialog if you are only
uninstalling software. Select Next to continue.
Step 14. Download software packages
If the HP Toptools installation wizard is run as a web download, then the download of all
required/selected software takes place next. A dialog will inform you of the status of the download:
If you opt to Cancel the download, a dialog that points you to the toptools website to order a CD is shown.
Step 15. Ready to install
After all software packages have been downloaded, the HP Toptools installation wizard displays a dialog
box indicating the wizard is ready to begin installing software.
