HP Insight Management Agents 9.20 Managing ProLiant Servers with Linux HOW TO Whitepaper

Traps are configured via the standard SNMP configuration file (snmpd.conf). For the most
current configuration information, see snmpd.conf manual page for the most current configuration
information. When the snmpd.conf or snmpd.local.conf configuration files are changed or
when the SNMPCONFPATH environment variable is changed, the cmanic daemon must be restarted.
If your operating system has an active firewall configuration, the system might reject external SNMP
requests, which prevents remote management operation. Your system must be configured to allow
udp connections on port 161 from any hosts that must be able to send SNMP requests. There are
significant security implications to configuring a firewall. Consider the iptables, ipchains,
iptables-save, and iptables-restore manpages and the documentation for any firewall
configuration application in use as mandatory reading before making any change to the firewall
configuration.
The Rack Infrastructure Interface Service is contained in an executable called cpqriisd, which
resides in the /sbin directory. You can initiate it by using the commands in Table 13: Command
options for the Rack Infrastructure Information Service daemon.
Table 13 Command options for the Rack Infrastructure Information Service daemon
DescriptionOption
This option will "daemonize" the process and start the daemon in a production level
environment. Usage is recommended. An easier way to accomplish this task is to execute
the hp-snmp-agents run-level script.
-F
This option starts the service in a debug environment. stdin and stdout go to the console;
typing "e" will stop the daemon. Alerts are logged in to the same text console.
-D
This option enables the verbosity of the output. The default behavior is to output to both
/var/log/ messages and tty1 - tty10.
-V
This option reports the version of the service and informs the user of other available options.-?
