Configure Host Watchdog Using ilomconfig Commands

Note:

Starting with Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4.9.0, the HMP watchdog agent and associated ILOM and host watchdog services are no longer available.

You must be able to run commands on the host in administrator mode.

This procedure provides basic instructions for using ilomconfig commands to configure the host watchdog. For more details, see Host Watchdog ilomconfig Commands in Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4 Server CLI Tools User’s Guide.

1. To modify the host watchdog parameters, use the following commands:

   • To enable or disable the host watchdog:

     # ilomconfig enable|disable hostwatchdog

   • To modify the host watchdog settings:

   • # ilomconfig modify hostwatchdog --option

     where option is one of:

     Option	Possible Values	Description
     --timer-action=action	Warning|Reset|PowerOff|PowerCycle	This sets the host_watchdog_timer_action parameter, which determines the action the host watchdog takes when the timer value expires.
     --timer-value=timervalue	Positive integer up to 6553	This sets the host_watchdog_timer_value parameter, which determines the number of seconds before the timer expires.
     --reset-period=queryinterval	Positive integer that is less than the value of timer-value parameter	This sets the host_watchdog_reset_period parameter, which determines the number of seconds before resetting the timer value.
