A customer has a business requirement to report on all hosts in the ControlCenter environment. The customer has purchased StorageScope and is migrating hosts from a small, pilot ControlCenter 5.1.2 environment to a large, distributed ControlCenter 5.2 SP2 environment.

The customer is also upgrading 500 of the host operating systems which have been announced as End-of-Life (EOL) by the vendors and which will have no native agents in ControlCenter 5.2 SP2. Due to the customer’s change control process, the host upgrades will not be completed before the upgrade to SP2.

Which solution will allow the customer to efficiently manage the EOL hosts?

A.
Upgrade to ControlCenter 5.2 SP1. Install SP1 agents on all hosts and then upgrade ControlCenter and all supported agents to SP2

B.
No solution will allow an efficient management of the EOL hosts.
The customer will only be able to report on hosts that are on supported platforms

C.
Upgrade to ControlCenter 5.2 SP2 and deploy agents only on supported hosts.
All other hosts will be discovered by proxy

D.
Install agents on all hosts using the current ControlCenter 5.1.2 infrastructure.
Only migrate hosts to the new ControlCenter 5.2 SP2 infrastructure after the host operating system has been upgraded
