HP Operations Manager

Reinstall the management server agent


In a clustered HPOM installation, one agent is installed on each physical management server node. By default, the HPOM Self Management policies are deployed on each physical server node.

Because these policies are only needed on the active server node, they are controlled by the agent Application Package Manager (APM). The help topic Managing cluster-aware applications describes the APM configuration. The policies are enabled on the current active management server node and disabled on all other nodes.

If the agent on one of the management server nodes is removed and reinstalled, you need to recreate the cluster configuration of these policies, as described below:

To reconfigure the cluster configuration

  1. Execute the tool Add Selfmanager to APM on the respective management server cluster node. The tool is available in the console tree under Tools HP Operations Manager Tools Cluster Tools.
  2. To apply the configuration, restart the agent with the commands opcagt -stop and opcagt -start.
Note NOTE:
If you do not recreate this configuration, the HPOM Self Management policies will always be enabled on that cluster node and will report misleading errors in your HPOM installation.
