If you must run AMS with the Insight Management Agents on Linux systems, start the hp-ams
daemon process first, and then decrease the number of traditional agents (for example,
cmasm2d

) running on the system. For more information about AMS on Linux systems, see the

manpage for hpHelper, the AMS daemon process.

When you install AMS on Windows systems, the Agentless Management Service Control
Panel is installed. You can use the Control Panel to configure SNMP settings, to enable or
disable AMS, and to remove AMS.

AMS writes operating system configuration information and critical events to the Active Health
System Log.
