Managing ProLiant Servers with Linux – HOWTO

v8.40

2. Start the Threshold agent using the following command:

# /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/server/etc/cmasthreshd start

Issue 12 Disabling SNMP sets for a specific agent

Workaround Stop the agent associated with the desired MIB. Change the agent command line argument

set switch to “-s NOT_OK” in the corresponding /opt/hp/hp-snmp-

agents/<agent>/etc/<subagent> file. This disables the SNMP sets for this agent only.

Restart the agent for the changes to take effect.

Issue 13 Disabling SNMP traps for a specific agent

Workaround Stop the agent. Change the agent command line argument trap switch to “-t NOT_OK” in

the /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/<agent>/etc/<subagent> file. This disables SNMP traps for

this agent only. Restart the stopped agent for the changes to take effect.

Issue 14 Disabling remote reboot

Workaround Stop the server Standard Equipment Agent with the following command:

# /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/server/etc/cmastdeqd stop

Edit /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/server/etc/cmastdeqd and change the cmastdeqd agent

command line reboot switch to “-r NOT_OK”. This disables SNMP reboots for this device

only. Restart the Standard Equipment Agent for the new changes to take effect.

Issue 15 Peer Agents will not run

Workaround Check the /var/log/hp-snmp-agents/cma.log file for messages. If it is caused by not running

snmpd, then configure snmpd to start automatically during boot. If you changed the

snmpd.conf files, you must restart snmpd and agents with the following commands:

# /etc/init.d/snmpd restart

# /etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents restart
