Installing UNIX agents

Monitoring and restarting UNIX agents

mv sisipsagent sisipsagentOFF

mv sisidsagent sisidsagentOFF

If the machine not is a member of a TruCluster, is configured as a single member cluster, or if you want to disable the agent on all clusters, perform the following actions:

mv /sbin/init.d/sisipsagent /sbin/init.d/sisipsagentOFF

mv /sbin/init.d/sisidsagent /sbin/init.d/sisidsagentOFF

Enabling a disabled Tru64 agent

You can enable a Tru64 agent that was previously disabled.

To enable a permanently disabled Tru64 agent

1Open a Terminal window and become superuser.

2Type and run the following commands, which rename the sisipsgent scripts:

If the machine is a member of a TruCluster, and the agent is installed on multiple cluster members (with a shared physical disk), perform the following actions to re-enable the agent on a single cluster:

cd /cluster/members/\{memb\}/sbin/init.d/ mv sisipsagentOFF sisipsagent

mv sisidsagentOFF sisidsagent

If the machine not is a member of a TruCluster, is configured as a single member cluster, or if you want to re-enable the agent on all clusters, perform the following actions:

mv /sbin/init.d/sisipsagentOFF /sbin/init.d/sisipsagent mv /sbin/init.d/sisidsagentOFF /sbin/init.d/sisidsagent

3Type and run the following commands to start the agents:

/sbin/init.d/sisipsagent start /sbin/init.d/sisidsagent start

Monitoring and restarting UNIX agents

The Health Check feature monitors and restarts UNIX agents in the event of an unexpected termination. This feature is available through the use of a crontab entry, which calls the daemon startup scripts at regular intervals with a health_check parameter.

For example, to monitor the UNIX agents every hour, add the following lines to the crontab file:

0 * * * * /etc/init.d/sisipsagent health_check
