To disable the Fibre Agent on hp server

To disable the Fibre Agent:



1.



Log in to the ESX host service console.



2.



Stop all management agents with the commands:



# service hpasm stop



# service hpsmhd stop







Note: The agents must be stopped before making this change rather than issuing a service restart command because the kill script for these agents do a check against the exclude list in cma.conf file and do not issue kill commands during a service restart to processes it does not think should be running. As a result, the problematic processes continue to run and SCSI reservation conflicts persist until they are manually killed or a reboot is initiated.



3.



Open the file /opt/compaq/cma.conf in a text editor.



4.



Add exclude cmahost cmahostd cmafcad to the top of the file.



5.



Save the file and exit the editor.



6. Start the managements on the host with the commands:







# service hpasm start



# service hpsmhd start







Note: The steps required to disable portions of the HPIM agent may vary depending on the version of HPIM management agent. For more information, consult the HPIM documentation or support.
