Enabling The Subagent - Sun Microsystems Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator's Manual

Enabling the Subagent

Enabling the Subagent
After you have installed the master agent that comes with Enterprise
Administration Server, you must enable the subagent for your server instance
before you attempt to start it. For more information on installing the master
agent, see "Installing the SNMP Master Agent" on page 209. You can use the
Server Manager to enable the subagent.
After you have installed and enabled the master agent and the subagent, if the
Note
master agent terminates, the subagent does not terminate with the master agent.
Instead, the subagent consumes the CPU usage and cause the server to dump
core. If you notice such unusual behavior, make sure that the master agent is
running.
To enable the SNMP subagent, use the SNMP Configuration page in the Server
Manager, and start the subagent from the SNMP Subagent Control pageThe
SNMP Subagent Control Page (Unix). For more information, see the
corresponding sections in the online help.
Once you have enabled the subagent, you can start, stop or restart it from the
SNMP Subagent Control page or the Services Control Panel for Windows NT.
