Manually Edit the Configuration File

The recommended way to change parameters in the configuration file for ILOM watchdog and host watchdog is to use the ilomconfig command with the ilomwatchdog or hostwatchdog targets. Use this procedure only if you are not able to use the ilomconfig command.

1. Open the following file in a text editor:

   /etc/ssm_directory/hmp_watchdogd.conf

   Where ssm_directory is either sun-ssm or ssm, depending on your version of Oracle Hardware Management Pack.

2. Change the value of any of the following parameters:
   • For ILOM watchdog:

     • ilom_watchdog_admin_state=value

     • ilom_watchdog_number_sp_reset=value

     • ilom_watchdog_timer_action=value

     • ilom_watchdog_query_time_interval=value

   • For host watchdog:

     • host_watchdog_admin_state=value

     • host_watchdog_timer_action=value

     • host_watchdog_timer_value=value

     • host_watchdog_reset_period=value

   See ILOM Watchdog Parameters and Host Watchdog Parameters for information on defaults and available values for each parameter.

3. Save the configuration file.
4. Run the following command:

   /etc/init.d/hmp_watchdogd reload
