Why each option

A new AIX 7.1 installation includes two IBM Systems Director agent components by default: the Common Agent and the Platform Agent.

ACommon AgentCorrect

The Common Agent is the base management agent bundled with AIX 7.1 and provides the core communication and management framework for IBM Systems Director. The Platform Agent (D) is also included by default and provides platform-specific hardware and OS management capabilities. Together, these two agents form the out-of-the-box IBM Systems Director footprint on a fresh AIX 7.1 system.

BInterface Agent

Interface Agent is not a recognized IBM Systems Director agent type that ships by default with AIX 7.1.

CDistributed Agent

Distributed Agent is not a component included in a default AIX 7.1 installation of IBM Systems Director.

DPlatform AgentCorrect

The Platform Agent is included in a new AIX 7.1 installation and supplies platform-level inventory and monitoring data to IBM Systems Director. It works alongside the Common Agent to enable management without requiring additional installation steps. IBM bundles both agents with AIX 7.1 to enable immediate manageability after OS deployment.

EManagement Agent

Management Agent is not a standard named component of IBM Systems Director bundled with AIX 7.1.

FUpdate Agent

Update Agent is not a default IBM Systems Director component installed with AIX 7.1.

GCompliance Agent

Compliance Agent is not a default IBM Systems Director component included in a new AIX 7.1 installation.
