Config Reader on E250?
Have installed the SunMC agent on two E250's and cannot get a common config reader to load on either - it does not even show as an option. This appears to leave me without the ability to monitor hardware on these platforms.
Will I get hardware alerts in this situation? Is there something I am simply missing or doing wrong? I do get MIB-II and Kernel Reader (both simple) and other aspects of SunMC appear fine.
Note, am using just the base management capabilities of SunMC.
Thanks in advance.

I think the E250 is covered by the Workgroup Server, and the Sun FIre V250 is covered by the Common Config Reader... but it's been awhile since I checked.
If you have the proper Config Reader specified when es-inst is run, then es-setup should have automatically loaded it for you when the Agent was first started.

Without a Config Reader module loaded you aren't doing any hardware monitoring. Try re-running es-inst and choosing the Workgroup Server option (I think it's last on the list), then let it rerun es-setup.

It appears you are correct and that the "Workgroup Server" addon also needs be added and then config reader appears automatically and provides hardware. Does this need be added to all agent installs or just specific hardware? If specific hardware, how does one know which. I am hoping to document/automate the installs as much as possible. Just need basic hardware monitoring -- i.e. what config reader provides.
Thanks.
