Compaq Management Agents 4.90

[Ayman Altounji]

Hello

I've a problem with the installation of the Compaq Management Agents 4.90 to Windows 2000 Server. After a successfully installation, there are following warnings in the eventviewer:

Source: Foundation Agents
Category: Services
Event ID: 267
Description: The Compaq Foundation Agents service could not start agent "CPQHOST". The data contains the error code.

Why are these warnings there and how can I eliminate them ?

Did you install the full SupportPaq for Win2K before the Insight Agents (this would have installed the agents anyway)?

Hello,
No, I do not install the full Support Pack. I wrote two batch files for the installation of the Compaq Software. The first one only installs the drivers for the hardware. This one works fine:

echo Compaq Drive Array Driver
cp000277.exe /silent /force

echo Compaq Smart Array-2 Controllers Driver
cp000278.exe /silent /force

echo Compaq 32-Bit SCSI Controller Driver
CP000391.exe /silent /force

echo Compaq Ethernet or Fast Ethernet NIC Driver
cp000284.exe /silent /force

echo Compaq ATI RAGE IIC Video Controller Driver
cp000296.exe /silent /force

The second installs the agents:

echo Compaq Advanced System Management Controller
C:\SOURCE\COMPAQ\SupportPack\5.04A\CP000286.exe /silent /force

echo Compaq Foundation Agents
C:\SOURCE\COMPAQ\SupportPack\5.04A\CP000231.exe /silent /force

echo Compaq Server Agents
C:\SOURCE\COMPAQ\SupportPack\5.04A\CP000583.exe /silent /force

echo Compaq Storage Agents
C:\SOURCE\COMPAQ\SupportPack\5.04A\CP000234.exe /silent /force

echo Compaq NIC Agents
C:\SOURCE\COMPAQ\SupportPack\5.04A\CP000233.exe /silent /force

The installation of the Compaq Foundation Agents produces following warnings:

1. (267)
The Compaq Foundation Agents service could not start agent "CPQHOST". The data contains the error code

2. (Event ID 270)
The Compaq Foundation Agents service could not terminate agent "CPQHOST". The data contains the error code
