I cannot GET THE NRPE DAEMON TO START IN aix after a AIX TL upgrade. Did a force install on all RPM's even though they were installed, also reinstalled Nagios XI agent for AIX and it fails during the startsrc -s nrpe command. I have attached the install logs to get assistance in troubleshooting. I cannot start the nrpe daemon.
I get this in the error log. we are running AIX Tl 6100-09 sp1.
It worked on 6100-08.

Well, the logs indicate that nrpe installed and restarted successfully. When you resintsalled nrpe, did you use the same source directory as before? I ask, because a reinstall of nrpe requires the removal of any installed.* files. Additionally, are you installing from source, or from a binary package/tarball?

HI,

I got the agent to start after ...
Once the following was commented from /etc/rc.tcpip…

# Start up the snmpmibd daemon
# start /usr/sbin/snmpmibd "$src_running"

# Start up the aixmibd daemon
# start /usr/sbin/aixmibd "$src_running"

We were able to start our Nagios XI nrpe daemon.

How do these two processes not running impact the server overall and will it cause an issue if we reboot as we have set them to not start.

Well, that is more of an AIX sysadmin question and not a Nagios one, but you should be able to follow what is outlined here for the agent to auto-start those as well:

In other words, a standard service/process start as you would configure on any system.
