Preloading Hardware Sentry

 Home  Previous  Next

For optimal operation of Hardware Sentry, it is strongly recommended that you configure the PATROL Agent to preload the KM. This means that the PATROL Agent will automatically load Hardware Sentry upon startup and will not wait for a console requesting the KM.

To do this:

1.Set the /AgentSetup/preloadedKMs configuration variable of each PATROL Agent where Hardware Sentry has been installed.
 
To set a configuration variable, use either of the following options: PATROL Configuration Manager (PCM), wpconfig.exe for Windows or xpconfig for UNIX/Linux. Please refer to the BMC Software PATROL documentation for detailed information on these tools.
 
/AgentSetup/preloadedKMs is a comma-separated list of KM files or KM lists that are to be loaded by the agent upon startup. Basically, it looks like the following:

EVENT_MANAGEMENT.kml,NT_PERFMON_WIZARD.kml,NT_BASE.kml,AS_EVENTSPRING.kml

2.Add MS_HARDWARE_SENTRY1.kml to this list as shown below and then apply the configuration:

EVENT_MANAGEMENT.kml,NT_PERFMON_WIZARD.kml,NT_BASE.kml,AS_EVENTSPRING.kml,MS_HARDWARE_SENTRY1.kml
