Configure or Repair Agents overview
Overview
The
feature is an
feature that enables you to repair
credentials for SNMP settings,
or
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
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
is unable to communicate with a
or group of systems, you can
use the
tool to repair the settings. The Configure or Repair Agents tool enables
you to repair
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.
