HP Insight Management Agents 9.10 Managing ProLiant Servers with Linux HOW TO Whitepaper

# service hp-snmp-agents restart

You can also manipulate the /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/cma.conf file which contains one

or more exclude directives. Any string after the exclude keyword is interpreted as an agent name

that should not be started. Examples include:

exclude cmahealthd

exclude cmastdeqd

These two lines exclude two agents from the startup: the Health Agent (cmahealthd) and the

Standard Equipment Agent (cmastdeqd).

Starting and stopping agents and services

After the initial installation, both the ProLiant Management Agents and the Health Monitor are

loaded. Upon a reboot, the initscripts /etc/init.d/hp-health and /etc/init.d/

hp-snmp-agents reload the Health Monitor and SNMP agents and drivers, even if a different

kernel was used for the new run.

To start and stop the hp-health service at runtime, type:

# /etc/init.d/hp-health stop

# /etc/init.d/hp-health start

# service hp-health stop

# service hp-health start

To start and stop the hp-snmp-agents at runtime, type:

# /etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents stop

# /etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents start

# service hp-snmp-agents stop

# service hp-snmp-agents start

Parameters

This section lists parameters for various agents and services.

Table 12: Parameters for NIC agents includes the command line arguments that can be passed to

the NIC agents (cmanicd) from the /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/nic/etc/cmanicd script.

Table 12 Parameters for NIC agents

DescriptionParameter

This parameter specifies the number of seconds between data caching and poll

intervals. NIC drivers are only queried when a request comes in and the cached

-p poll_time

information is older than the specified poll interval. The default value is 20 seconds.

The minimum poll time is 10 seconds.

This parameter specifies whether SNMP set commands are allowed for this agent. A

set_state of OK (default) means that SNMP set commands are allowed. A set_state of

NOT_OK means that SNMP set commands are not allowed.

-s set_state

This parameter specifies whether the NIC Agent is allowed to send traps or not. A

trap_state of OK (default) indicates the NIC Agent can send SNMP traps. A trap_state

of NOT_OK means that the NIC Agent is not allowed to send traps.

-t trap_state

For example, to set the poll interval to 30 seconds and prevent traps, change PFLAGS= to PFLAGS="-

p30 -t NOT_OK" in the /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/nic/etc/cmanicd script.
