DESCRIPTION:  
The "Compaq Server Agents - Linux" software release contains 
Server Agents program and related files for Linux.  
The Compaq Server Agents take advantage of the systems management 
capabilities of Compaq servers.  This release supports Red Hat Linux 7.0.

The "Compaq Server Agents - Linux" has been tested on the
Remote Insight Board Lights-out Edition (RILO) card.



ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:  This is the initial release.



HOW TO USE:



1. Before installation

        a) "Compaq Server Agents - Linux" requires following RPMs:

               UCD SNMP RPM (ucd-snmp): version 4.1.1 for Red Hat 6.2
                                        version 4.1.2 for Red Hat 7.0
               Compaq Foundation Agent (cmafdtn-5.00-1.i386.rpm)
               Compaq Health Driver RPM (cpqhealth) version 1.2.0
               Compaq Remote Insight Board Lights-out Edition (RILO)
               Driver RPM (crid) version 1.0.0

        b) The UCD snmpd Start script "snmpd" (under /etc/rc.d) should be turned on
           under one or more runlevels of 2, 3, 4 and 5. /sbin/chkconfig or other
           tools can be used. E.g. "/sbin/chkconfig --level 3 snmpd on".
           If "snmpd" is not turned on at any runlevel, the post installation script
           will automatically turn it on at default boot runlevel based on
           /etc/inittab configuration(see "man inittab").


2. Installing the Server Agents

        Use following command to install Server Agents:

        %rpm -Uvh cmasvr-5.00-1.i386.rpm

3. After installation

        a. SNMP configuration files ("snmpd.conf") need to be configured properly.
           An example snmpd.conf can be found as /opt/compaq/foundation/src/snmpd.conf.cma.

        b. Compaq Management Agents will use "rocommunity" and "rwcommunity" entries
           to obtain community strings. As a minimum, localhost SNMP READ privilege is
           required.  For example,

               rocommunity YourReadStr 127.0.0.1

           Localhost SNMP WRITE(SET) privilege is required if you like to enable
           Web agent with SET capability or to perform SETs through Remote Insight
           Board. For example,

               rwcommunity YourWriteStr 127.0.0.1

           Compaq Management Agents will refer to "trapcommunity" and "trapsink" entries
           for Trap destinations and community string. For examples:

               trapcommunity defaulttrapcomm
               trapsink 127.0.0.1 mytrapcomm
               trapsink 131.168.11.2 

        c. Manually start the Server agents

           % /etc/rc.d/init.d/cmasvr start


        d. Install other Compaq Management Agents for Servers packages (if any).

           Compaq Storage Agents - Linux   (cmastor)
           Compaq Nic Agents - Linux       (cmanic)

4. Known Issues

    a) The cmasm2d RILO agent does not report the RILO IP address,
        IP mask and IP Gateway information correctly.

    b) The following MIBs are not reported correctly by the cmastdeqd agent for
        the newer DL and ML series SMBIOS servers:

         1) cpqHeIRC MIB - Integrated Remote Console status
                a) 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.1.0.1
