Starting and Stopping the Subagent
Starting and Stopping the Subagent
The SNMP agent must be running before the Host Resources Subagent is started. If
the agent is not running, start it with the RUN command:
RUN SNMPAGT /NAME $agent-process, NOWAIT/
For complete information on starting the SNMP agent, refer to Section 2, Installing and
Configuring the SNMP Agent.
Start the subagent by entering the RUN command at a terminal that is running the
TACL program. The subagent can be run by any user (you do not need to belong to a
super user group), but it must be started as a named process. Assuming the name of
the SNMP agent is $ZSNMP, the following is an example of starting the subagent to
monitor a NonStop Kernel Guardian environment:
RUN HMSAX /NAME $HRMIB, NOWAIT/
The next example starts the subagent monitoring only the OSS personality. The
Guardian personality is not monitored.
RUN HMSAX /NAME $HRMIB, NOWAIT/ -u
To monitor both Guardian and OSS environments:
RUN HMSAX /NAME $HRMIB, NOWAIT/ -t -u

Note. You could also include the -t option. By default, if neither the -t or -u options are
specified, monitoring of the Guardian personality is enabled, and monitoring of the OSS
personality is disabled.
