This error indicates that SSH credentials have previously been supplied and cannot be altered. To avoid this error, issue the add server feature osmonitor command without agentssh credentials for instructions.

Use the grep command as follows to determine whether the OS monitoring agents were successfully installed.

• To verify the Solaris OS feature, type the following commands:

  # pkginfo |grep n1sm sparc: SUNWn1smsparcag-1-2 solx86: SUNWn1smx86ag-1-2 # ps -ef |grep -i esd root 23817 1 0 19:57:59 ? 0:01 esd - init agent -dir /var/opt/SUNWsymon -q

• To verify the Linux feature, type the following commands:

  # rpm -qa | grep n1sm-linux-agent # ps -ef | grep -i esd root 1940 1 0 Jan28 ? 00:00:14 esd - init agent -dir /var/opt/SUNWsymon -q
