Management Host agent

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

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.
