Supported Products ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Introduction The "Compaq Server Agents - Linux" software release contains Server Agents program and related files for Linux. The Compaq Server Agents take advantage of the systems management capabilities of Compaq servers. This release supports Red Hat Linux 7.0/7.1 and SuSE Linux 7.0/7.2. 2. Documentation Updates and Corrections This section contains information on known errors and omissions in the "Compaq Management Agents - Linux" User Guide. The information in this section is more up-to-date than that in the User Guide. 3. Known Issues 3.1 The following MIBs are not reported correctly by the cmastdeqd agent for the newer DL and ML series SMBIOS servers: 3.2.1 cpqHeIRC MIB - Integrated Remote Console status 1) 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.1.0.1 4. Installation 4.1 Before installation 1) "Compaq Server Agents - Linux" requires following RPMs: UCD SNMP RPM (ucd-snmp): version 4.1.2 for Red Hat 7.0 version 4.1.2 for Red Hat 7.1 version 4.1.1 for SuSE 7.0 version 4.1.2 for SuSE 7.2 Compaq Foundation Agent (cmafdtn-5.20-1.i386.rpm) Compaq Health Driver RPM (cpqhealth) version 2.1.0 Compaq Remote Insight Board Lights-out Edition (RILO) Driver RPM (crid) version 2.1.0 2) The UCD snmpd Start script "snmpd" (under /etc/rc.d) should be turned on under one or more runlevels of 2, 3, 4 and 5. /sbin/chkconfig or other tools can be used. E.g. "/sbin/chkconfig --level 3 snmpd on". If "snmpd" is not turned on at any runlevel, the post installation script will automatically turn it on at default boot runlevel based on /etc/inittab configuration(see "man inittab"). 4.2 Installing the Server Agents Use following command to install Server Agents: %rpm -Uvh cmasvr-5.20-1.i386.rpm 4.3 After installation a. SNMP configuration files ("snmpd.conf") need to be configured properly. An example snmpd.conf can be found as /opt/compaq/foundation/src/snmpd.conf.cma. b. Compaq Management Agents will use "rocommunity" and "rwcommunity" entries to obtain community strings. As a minimum, localhost SNMP READ privilege is required. For example, rocommunity YourReadStr 127.0.0.1 Localhost SNMP WRITE(SET) privilege is required if you like to enable Web agent with SET capability or to perform SETs through Remote Insight Board. For example, rwcommunity YourWriteStr 127.0.0.1 Compaq Management Agents will refer to "trapcommunity" and "trapsink" entries for Trap destinations and community string. For examples: trapcommunity defaulttrapcomm trapsink 127.0.0.1 mytrapcomm trapsink 131.168.11.2 c. Manually start the Server agents % /etc/rc.d/init.d/cmasvr start d.
