HP Insight Management Agents 9.1 Installation Guide

Installing and updating Web Agents on multiple NetWare systems
The following procedure is intended for administrators wanting to use software distribution tools
to distribute agent settings from one server to multiple servers on the network. This procedure makes
it possible to quickly update all servers on the network automatically without having to manually
browse to each one.
If this is an update to an existing installation, and the current settings are being overwritten, see
the “Updating existing Web Agent installations on multiple NetWare systems” (page 18) section.
If this is a new installation of Web Agents, and a common configuration set and passwords are
preferred, use the following installation procedure:
1. Install the Web Agents on a single system.
2. Set up the preferred passwords using the web browser, and change the password capability.
3. Search the SYS:SYSTEM\COMPAQ\WBEM directory for the file CPQHMMD.ACL. Save this file
for use during bulk deployment.
4. Using the web browser, set up any preferred options on the Options page (follow the Options
link from the Web Agent home page).
5. Search the SYS:SYSTEM\COMPAQ\WBEM\HOMEPAGE directory for the file CPQHMMD.INI,
and save this file for use during bulk deployment.
6. Using whatever bulk deployment tools are at your disposal, create the SYS:SYSTEM\COMPAQ\
WBEM directory on each system being deployed.
7. Copy CPQHMMD.ACL to the SYS:SYSTEM\COMPAQ\WBEM directory on each system.
8. Create the SYS:SYSTEM\COMPAQ\WBEM\HOMEPAGE directory on each system being
deployed.
9. Copy CPQHMMD.INI to the SYS:SYSTEM\COMPAQ\WBEM\HOMEPAGE directory on each
system.
The remainder of the procedure should follow the normal setup process.
Updating existing Web Agent installations on multiple NetWare systems
If this is an update to an existing installation, and the current settings are being overwritten, use
the following procedure to update Web Agents:
1. Unload the Web Agent (CPQWEBAG.NLM) before proceeding. This procedure will stop the
HTTP server.
2. Follow the previous installation procedure.
3. When the .ACL and .INI files have been copied to the target systems, restart the Web
Agent.
The remainder of the procedure should follow the normal setup process.
Setting up SNMP system description and trap destinations
The next step in installing Management Agents for Servers is to set up the SNMP system description
and trap destinations. You can accomplish this installation by editing the following files to match
your system and network management configurations:
SNMP.CFG
TRAPTARG.CFG
Editing SNMP.CFG
SNMP.CFG is an ASCII text file that provides the SNMP NLM with system name, hardware, location,
and contact information. The SNMP.CFG is a sample file and must be edited to reflect the correct
information specific to your installation. The SNMP NLM enables the configuration of some MIB-II
system identification information with the SNMP.CFG file. You must have the SNMP.CFG file in the
