Reinitializing the KM

Home  Previous  Next

If ever EMC Disk Arrays KM for PATROL does not function properly (displays components as missing that you know are present, or does not detect several components as it should, etc.), it is possible to reinitialize the configuration and let the KM re-start monitoring from scratch. The above cases of malfunction can occur after a configuration change or especially after a software/hardware upgrade.

noteA backup of the PATROL Agent configuration is always performed and saved in the $PATROL_HOME/config directory before a Reinitialization of the KM.

importantThe reinitialization options may be limited if you are using BMC ProactiveNet v.9.x to monitor your environment.
