Stop the Netegrity SNMP and Operating System Master Agents

This is only necessary if your 5.x Policy Server is configured for SNMP support.

Windows

Stop the Netegrity SNMP agent and SNMP Service, which is the OS master agent, using the Services dialog from the Control Panel. Also, set them to start up manually and not automatically on a system reboot.

UNIX systems

The Netegrity SNMP agent can only be stopped by stopping the Sun Solstice Enterprise Master agent (snmpdx) daemon.

To stop this daemon

  1. Login as super user (root)
  2. Enter cd /etc/rc3.d
  3. Enter sh SXXsnmpdx (S76snmpdx) stop

After the upgrade is complete restart all of these services again.
