Oracle Hardware Management Pack Watchdog Agent

Note:

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

The Oracle Hardware Management Pack Watchdog Agent (HMP Watchdog Agent) is an optional component that works with Linux. The HMP Watchdog Agent periodically checks the host and/or Oracle ILOM and performs a user-configured action if either proves unresponsive. The actions can include posting a warning to a log file, resetting the corresponding device, and in the case of the host, power cycling or powering off the host.

The HMP Watchdog Agent provides two services: ILOM watchdog and host watchdog.

You can configure the HMP Watchdog Agent using the ilomconfig CLI command (preferred), or by editing the hmp_watchdogd.conf file. For instructions, see Configuring the HMP Watchdog Agent.
