kill -HUP Does Not Always Cause the Agent to Reread
the snmpd.conf Conguration File (4988483)
After modifying the contents of snmpd.conf, you can issue the command kill -HUP snmp
Process ID. This command stops the snmp process. The command then sends a signal to the
System Management Agent's master agent (snmpd) to reread snmpd.conf and implement the
modications that you introduced. The command might not always cause the master agent to
reread the conguration le. Consequently, using the command might not always activate
modications in the conguration le.
Instead of using kill -HUP, restart the System Management Agent after adding modications
to snmpd.conf. Perform the following steps:
1. Become superuser.
2. Type the following command:
# /etc/init.d/init.sma restart
x86: Pressing the F4 Key During BIOS Bootup Fails to
Boot the Service Partition (4782757, 5051157)
You are booting a Sun LX50 which has a Service partition and Solaris 10 OS on x86 is installed.
Pressing the F4 function key to boot the Service partition, when given the option, causes the
screen to go blank. The system then fails to boot the Service partition.
Workaround: Do not press the F4 key when the BIOS Bootup Screen is displayed. After a
time-out period, the Current Disk Partition Information screen is displayed. Select the number
in the Part# column that corresponds to type=DIAGNOSTIC. Press the Return key. The system
boots the Service partition.
