Reinitializing the KM

 Home  Previous  Next

It is possible to reinitialize the KM if IBM DS6000, DS8000 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 DS6000, DS8000 Series KM restart 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.

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

1.To reinitialize IBM DS6000, DS8000 Series KM for PATROL: Right-click the KM Icon > KM Commands > Reinitialize KM
