Test the Chassis Inventory Module Manually

You can test the Chassis inventory module manually and verify that the correct information has been collected.

Note: Running the inventory collection module manually is for testing or diagnostic purposes. In some situations, diagnostic messages are displayed on the screen, which does not affect the inventory collection and is not harmful.

To test the Chassis inventory module manually

1. Enter the following commands in the nPar (or vPar) system where the asset management agent is installed:

   cd $CA_ITRM_BASEDIR/Agent/AM/plugin
   

   ./amvminvhp 0
   

   The Chassis inventory is written to the following location:

   $CA_ITRM_BASEDIR/Agent/AM/data/transfer_vm/amvminvux.inv
   

2. Check the information in the inventory file against the output from various commands specific to nPar and vPar.

After the Chassis inventory file is created, you can manually run the AM remote agent using one of the following methods:

• Method 1:

  cd $CA_ITRM_BASEDIR/Agent/AM/plugin
  

  ./amVMAgent register
  

• Method 2:

  caf start amagent
  

Note: Starting the amagent will automatically start the AM remote agent and the registration process.
