Starting the HP Storage Manager agent

The HP Storage Manager agent is a monitoring agent for controllers that uses less memory than the HP Storage Manager graphical user interface (that is, the console). You can manage and configure a server running the agent through a HP Storage Manager console running on another system.

Note: If the system administrator chose during installation to start the agent as a background service (daemon), the agent is already running. Verify that the agent is not running before performing this procedure.

Use the following procedure to start the HP Storage Manager agent on your system.
