If ever IBM XiV KM for PATROL does not function properly (ex: display of components as missing while actually present or failure to 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 could occur after a configuration change or especially after a software/hardware upgrade etc.
In such a case, you can reinitialize the KM, and 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 wizard 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.
| 1. | To reinitialize IBM XiV KM for PATROL: Right-click the KM main icon > KM Commands > Reinitialize KM: |
Setting the Reinitialize Options
| 2. | Select the options as per your specific needs: |
Alert thresholds and actions
| ▪ | Remove manually customized alert thresholds: Selection removes all customized thresholds. |
| ▪ | Reset the threshold mechanism mode to default: Selection makes the KM revert to the default mode i.e. IBM XiV KM for PATROL selects the mechanism that is best suited to the system. |
| ▪ | Reset Alert Actions: Selection removes all manually set Alert Actions and reverts to basic default actions i.e. Trigger a PATROL event and Annotate a parameter graph. |
Misc. options
| ▪ | Deactivate the debug mode: Selection deactivates the debug mode if manually enabled. |
| ▪ | Restore and resume paused/removed objects: Selection restores all paused or removed objects. |
| ▪ | Remove Java Settings: Selection removes the custom Java settings (path and credentials). The KM will try to automatically find a suitable JRE. |
Internal KM engine options
| ▪ | forceClassicConfigMode: Selection forces the KM to run in Classic Mode. (Option available only if the KM is already running in CA mode). |
Save reinitialize settings
| ▪ | Save reinitialize settings: Selection saves the defined settings that will then be considered as default. |
In cases where configurations have been manually set in the PATROL Agent, there will be an additional section called Internal KM engine options displaying the used configuration variables and the option whether or not to remove them.
