Solaris System Management Agent Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Prevent The System Management Agent Initializing at Boot Time

During the boot of the Solaris software, the SMA starts by default after the snmpdx has started. If you do not want to migrate your agent to the SMA, stop the SMA if it is running and edit the startup scripts. This editing prevents the System Management Agent from automatically starting at reboot.

  1. Open the snmpd.conf file.

    This file is located at /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf

  2. Edit the snmpd.conf file.

    Instructions are included within the file for your convenience:


    ######################################
    # SECTION: Admins who want to disable the snmpd daemon from 
    # starting at boot time.
    # Change DISABLE=NO to DISABLE=YES 
    # DO NOT DELETE 
    # DO NOT UNCOMMENT 
    # DISABLE=NO 
    #
    # end ADMIN

    Change the NO for the DISABLE flag to YES, to prevent the snmpd daemon from starting at boot time.
