2 Agent information

Management Host agent

The Management Host agent gathers data for the HP Host OS MIB. This data includes:

Server/host name and OS version number

CPU utilization information (for each CPU) over 1-minute, 5-minute, 30-minute, and 60-minute intervals

File system information (for each mounted file system)

Software version information

Running the host agent

NetWare systems

Support for Desktop Intelligent Manageability provides a list of computers that have logged into the server running

CPQHOST. CPQAGIN should be used to set up the server to run CPQHOST and support Desktop Management.

CPQAGIN edits the system login script to include the execution of a discovery program (CPQCLNT.EXE). If the

desktop logging into the server supports Desktop Management, the discovery program writes the desktop’s system

name, IP and/or IPX address, as well as other information to SYS:CPQDATA. CPQHOST then polls SYS:CPQDATA,

reads any information from logged-in desktops, and adds that information to the list of logged-in desktops. Only

desktops that support HP Desktop Management appears in the list supported by CPQHOST and Insight Manager.

Configuring client data collection

To set up the system to collect client data:

1.

Load the Desktop Management Support files.

If you have selected Desktop Management during SmartStart setup or if you have installed Management

Agents for Servers 2.60 or later, the Desktop Management Support files have already been copied to your

system. At the system console prompt, enter the following command:
LOAD CPQAGIN

If you have not installed Management Agents for Servers 2.60 or later, insert the Management CD into your

CD-ROM drive. At the system console prompt, enter the following command:

LOAD [CD DRIVE]:\AGENTS\NETWARE\ENG\COMPAQ\ CPQAGIN

At the opening menu, select Copy New NetWare Agents to System and follow the onscreen instructions. Do

not exit the installation program.

2.

Select Client Management from the opening menu and follow the on-screen instructions.

3.

To manage a workstation (client) that is logged in to a NetWare 4.x/IntranetWare 4.11 environment using a

NetWare Directory Services (NDS) connection, add the following three lines to the container login script where

the user ID resides:

map ins s2:=sys:\public

#cpqclnt.exe \\servername\SYS\PUBLIC

map del s2:

After completing these instructions, Client Management is installed and configured on the system.

Threshold Agent

The Threshold Agent is designed to provide support for HP Insight Manager user-defined thresholds. It also provides a

generic way to set thresholds on objects in any HP SNMP MIB.

Users can set thresholds on counter or gauge MIB variables. Each selected MIB variable is periodically sampled by

the Threshold Agent at a rate defined by the user.
MIB data values are compared to user-configured thresholds. If a configured threshold is exceeded, an alarm trap is

sent to the configured SNMP trap destination and optionally to e-mail. User-configured alarm thresholds are saved in

the data registry until the user deletes them.

For further information about setting thresholds, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide help file.
