Reinitializing the KM

Home  Previous  Next

HP EVA KM for PATROL can be reinitialized if it does not function properly after a configuration change or a software/hardware upgrade. Reinitializing the KM will reinitialize the configuration and let HP EVA KM for PATROL re-start monitoring from scratch. The KM will then run a full discovery and re-start the monitoring of existing and new components. Thresholds will be set to default so all previously manually set thresholds will be lost, unless specified otherwise in the Reinitialize KM window shown below.

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

To reinitialize HP EVA KM for PATROL:

1.Right-click the HP EVA icon > KM Commands > Reinitialize KM:

KM_Cmd_ReinitializeKM
