Right, thanks. That shows nothing.
I've never seen anything like that. According to page 12 of the HOWTO
<http://tinyurl.com/7h8dr> the `cmaidad` agent collects data from
cciss/cpqarray drivers, so surely that hadles everything for me?
`cmaidad` is running, and I believe my SCSI array is of the cciss type.
Looking at the docs, maybe you need an SNMP agent running for the peer agents to send information to? I say this because of this quote:
"During installation, the Peer Agents are configured to start
automatically when the SNMP agent is running. Linux run-level
configuration tools can be used to change Peer Agent configurations. They
should be started after the SNMP agent snmpd is started and should be
killed after snmpd is killed."
This seems to imply that there should be an snmpd-type process running.
It looks like I've been completely misunderstanding this. I don't really understand how the peer agents communicate with the SNMP agents, in that case.
I'll have another go at this later today. Since I know you've worked with Proliants before I was figuring you wouldn't need to look at the docs - maybe I'll post any future questions to the HP Forums. Thanks for your help.
Stroller.
