Starting and Stopping the Subagent
After startup, you can use two MIB objects to control the EMS collector process. To
change the EMS collector process, set the value of tdmNwSaEmsCollectorName
to identify the EMS collector process. To activate or deactivate event collection, set
the value of tdmNwSaEmsCollectorState to connected or disconnected,
respectively.
ipxproto-process
identifies a local or remote IPXPROTO process you want the subagent to monitor.
You can specify from one through five alphanumeric characters, but the first
character must be alphabetic. If you specify more than one IPXPROTO process,
separate process names with a space. If you omit the -i startup parameter, $ZNV0
on the subagent’s node is assumed.
If the subagent cannot successfully establish a connection with an IPXPROTO
process, it attempts to establish one at the rate specified by the -k startup
parameter.
After startup, you can use two MIB objects to control IPXPROTO process
connections. To add a new connection, set the value of tdmNwSaProtoName to
identify an IPXPROTO process. To activate or deactivate an IPXPROTO process
connection, set the value of tdmNwSaIpxProtoState to connected or
disconnected, respectively.
keep-alive-interval
specifies how often you want the subagent to try to establish connections with
agent, IPXPROTO, EMS collector, or backup processes with which connections
have failed. The keep-alive interval is the number of minutes between attempts.
Valid values range from 0 through 32000. A value of 0 suppresses reconnections
when disconnections occur. If you omit the -k startup parameter, the subagent tries
to establish lost connections every 60 minutes.
After startup, you can change the keep-alive interval by setting the value of
tdmNwSaKeepAliveTimer to a different interval.
refresh-interval
specifies how often you want the subagent to update values for objects in the six
tables that describe IPXPROTO processes:
ipxBasicSysTable
tdmNwInfoTable
tdmNwIPXTable
tdmNwSPXTable
tdmNwNCPTable
tdmNwServerTable
When the subagent first accesses a table after startup, the table’s values are
updated and its refresh timer starts running. The next time the subagent accesses
the table, its values are updated only if its refresh timer has run down. The refresh
