HP Insight Management Agents - Manual (Page 143)

•
Boolean—The OFF and ON radio buttons are used to set the Boolean type parameter. Click
the radio button to select either OFF or ON, and then click SET. The set is done.
•
Ticks—For the convenience of the administrator or operator, the Ticks-type parameter is
calculated and displayed as seconds. So when do a set, modify the amount of the seconds
in the text field, and click SET. If the seconds set is not in the range of the predefined seconds,
and an Out of Range warning appears and the set is aborted.
•
TimeOffset—In the format of +/- XX:XX:XX (hour:minute:second). To do a set, modify the value
in the predefined format in the text field, and click SET.
•
BlockShift—An integer typeset. Modify the value in the text field, and click SET.
•
Trigger—An integer typeset. Modify the value in the text field, and click SET.
In NetWare 4.x, all the sets done through command line or Monitor utility take effect immediately,
but the sets are lost when the server is rebooted. The Web Agent overcomes this drawback by
writing the SET command in Autoexec.ncf when a set is committed through the Web Agent browser
so it is a permanent set. In NetWare 5.x, the SET command is not added in the Autoexec.ncf,
because the operating system can remember the set even after the reboot.
SET exceptions
In both NetWare4.x and NetWare 5.x, when the administrator or operator tries to do a SET on
a variable that is only settable through the Startup.ncf file, a SET XXXXX=XXXX line is added in the
Startup.ncf
file. Although, the SET does not take effect until the remote server is restarted, when
SET is clicked, a warning message appears.
In NetWare 5.x, when trying to do a lower-than-current-value SET on alert message nodes, an
HTTP post error warning appears. Be alert, because the operating system is denying this SET. If
this SET is done through the command line or Monitor utility, the same denial occurs.

contained by the host. The table on the Physical Partition page is sorted by the Type value by
