It is possible to reinitialize the KM if IBM DS3000, DS4000, DS5000 Series KM for PATROL does not function properly after a configuration change or a software/hardware upgrade. Reinitializing the KM will reinitialize the configuration and let IBM DS3000, DS4000, DS5000 Series KM 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 setting window shown below.
 A backup of the PATROL Agent configuration is always performed and saved in the $PATROL_HOME/config directory before a Reinitialization of the KM.
