Test the nPar Inventory Module Manually

You can test the nPar 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 nPar inventory module manually

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 1
```
The nPar inventory is written to the following location:
```
$CA_ITRM_BASEDIR/Agent/AM/data/transfer_vm/amvminvux.inv
```
Check the information in the inventory file against the output from various commands specific to nPar and vPar.

After the nPar 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.

Note: Collecting the nPar inventory after the Chassis inventory collection overwrites the Chassis information in $CA_ITRM_BASEDIR/Agent/AM/data/transfer_vm/amvminvux.inv.
