Configure or Repair Agents overview

Overview

The

Configure or Repair Agents

feature is an

HP Systems Insight Manager

feature that enables you to repair

credentials for SNMP settings,

System Management Homepage

or

Management HTTP Server

trust relationships,

setup SSH authentication and create subscriptions to WBEM events on Windows, Linux, and HP-UX systems
supported by HP Systems Insight Manager on local or remote systems.

NOTE:

For

systems

with Management HTTP Server 4.x and earlier, Configure or Repair Agents adds the

Administrator password into the Management HTTP Server store and modifies the SNMP settings but cannot
change trust relationship information since Management HTTP Server 4.x and earlier did not deploy trust
relationships.

When

HP Systems Insight Manager

is unable to communicate with a

system

or group of systems, you can

use the

Configure or Repair Agents

tool to repair the settings. The Configure or Repair Agents tool enables

you to repair

SNMP

settings and trust relationships that exist between HP Systems Insight Manager and

target systems if you have 7.2 agents or later installed. If you have 7.1 agents or earlier installed, you can
update Web Agent passwords on target systems.

The Configure or Repair Agents feature adds the security and trap community strings and trust settings to
the target systems, but it does not replace existing settings. To replace the existing settings on target systems,
use the Replicate Agent Settings feature in HP Systems Insight Manager.

Consistent with many other HP Systems Insight Manager tools, the Configure or Repair Agents can be
configured to run automatically on a schedule, or you can run it manually.

NOTE:

The Configure or Repair Agents feature does not support Windows NT 4.0.
