RUN Command
agent-process
identifies the agent process. You can specify one through five alphanumeric
characters, but the first character must be alphabetic. HP recommends using
$ZSNMP to identify an SNMP agent. If you are running multiple SNMP agents on a
single host (see Starting Multiple SNMP Agents on Each Node on page 2-23), HP
recommends appending a digit: for example, $ZSNM0 and $ZSNM1.
If you don’t supply a value for agent-process at /NAME TACL generates a name,
because the SNMP agent must run as a named process. You need to know the
name of the agent process to use SCF to configure the SNMP agent. You also
need to know the name of the agent process to stop it. The SNMPCTL File and the
WARM Startup Parameter on page 2-14 tells you how to find out the name of the
agent process.
other-run-option
is any of the TACL RUN command options. Refer to the TACL Reference Manual
for more information about these options. HP recommends using at least the
NOWAIT option so you can resume TACL operations once the SNMP agent is
started.
startup-parameter
is one of the following parameters that control attributes of the SNMP agent
process. You can specify startup parameters either in the RUN command or
through TACL PARAM statements issued before you issue the RUN command. For
more information on TACL PARAM statements, refer to PARAM Statements’
Custom Configuration for the RUN Command on page 2-16.
