1-2-3 NIC Agent (cmanic)
The NIC Agent collects information from network interface controllers at periodic intervals, makes the
collected data available to the SNMP agent, and provides SNMP alerts. The NIC Agent gathers data for
the NIC MIB from supported NIC device drivers. The data includes:
• Physical mapping and configuration data for each network interface.
• Network statistics for Ethernet interfaces. Information is provided for HP controllers. Limited information
may be provided for third-party NICs
1-2-4 Performance Agent (cmaperfd)
The Performance Agent Daemon (cmaperfd) collects CPU, Memory, Disk and Network Interface Controller
performance data at periodic intervals and makes the collected data available to the HPSIM.
1-2-5 Data Collection Agent
Data Registries are composed of standard Linux directories and associated files. Each file in the data
registry is a logical object containing "n" related data items.
The MIB items supported by the Server Data Collection Agents are listed in the /opt/hp/hp-snmp-
agents/mibs/cmafdtnobjects.conf and /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/mibs/cmasvrobjects.conf files.
During installation, each agent is configured to start automatically after the SNMP Agent (snmpd) is started
and to stop after snmpd is stopped.
1-2-6 Lights-Out Agent
A Lights Out Agent consists of the sub-agent components listed in Table 8.

Lights-Out Agent
(cmasm2d)
The Remote Insight/Integrated Lights-Out Agent (cmasm2d) gathers data for the Remote
Insight/integrated Lights-Out MIB. The data includes:
• Configuration and statistical information for the Remote Insight Board or Integrated Lights-Out
(RIB/RILOE/iLO)
• Events logged to the RIB or iLO
• Configuration and statistical information for the Remote Insight/Integrated Lights-Out NIC
• IDA physical drive information
The IDA Agent is located in /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/storage/bin/cmaidad. The suggested
poll_time is 15 seconds (default). The minimum recommended poll_time is 5 seconds.
Rack Agent
(cmarackd)
The Rack Agent (cmarackd) monitors the rack health through the systems management
microprocessor on the server, the microprocessor on the server enclosure and the
