You can use the /etc/init.d/hpima reconfigure command at any time to reconfigure HP Insight Management Agents previously installed.

To reconfigure the HP Insight Management Agents, enter /etc/init.d/hpima reconfigure, and then press Enter.

During the reconfiguration process of the HP Insight Management Agent packages, an automated search for SNMP configuration files on your system is performed. Depending on the data found in the configuration files, a series of queries request you to supply either missing information or change the current settings.

There are two types of reconfiguration queries as follows:

localhost

The localhost is the server on which you have installed the HP Insight Management Agents. The HP System Management Homepage requires the data you provide at the localhost queries to operate properly.

Remote Management Station(s)

The Remote Management Station(s) installation queries request you to provide community string data for a single remote server, which is typically the HP Systems Insight Manager Console. Community string data can also be used by any other application. For a definition of community strings, see “Concepts and Terms to Understand”“).

NOTE: If you provide blank response at any of the reconfiguration queries, it is interpreted as no change to the current setting or to use an appropriate default value; you cannot proceed until a response is provided.

When you have supplied the information solicited by the prompts, the SNMP daemon restarts to obtain the new configuration settings you provided.

The HP Insight Management Agents are not running at this point in time. To start the HP Insight Management Agents, enter /etc/init.d/hpima start. A process check of all the HP Insight Management Agents as they come up. It will look like the following:

Start SNMP AgentX Intermediary 'hpimaX': (running) [ OK ] 
Start Foundation Host Agent 'hpimahostd': [ OK ] 
Start Foundation Threshold Agent 'hpimathreshd': [ OK ] 
Start Server Health Agent 'hpimahealthd': [ OK ] 
Start Server Standard Equipment Agent 'hpimastdeqd': [ OK ] 
Start Storage Event Agent 'hpimaeventd': [ OK ] 
Start Storage Intelligent Disk Array Agent 'hpimaidad': [ OK ] 
Start Storage Serial Attached SCSI Agent 'hpimasasd': [ OK ] 
Start Storage SCSI Agent 'hpimascsid': [ OK ] 
Start Storage Fibre Channel Agent 'hpimafcad': [ OK ] 
Start NIC Agent 'hpimanicd': [ OK ] 
Start Event E0 Trap Generator 'hpimaE0traps': [ OK ] 
HP Insight Management Agents are enabled
NOTE: If you do not specify a trap destination during reconfiguration, errors are logged in /var/log/hp/hpima/. Although the agents run, no traps are sent. For a definition of trap destination, see “Concepts and Terms to Understand”“).
