Best practices

BMC recommends that after installing BMC PATROL Knowledge Module (KM) for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and configuring Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, you should preload the KM. A preloaded KM is a KM that is loaded by the PATROL Agent at startup and runs as long as the PATROL Agent runs. If you want your KMs to be loaded at startup and continue collecting data even when there is no console running, preload the .km files or .kml file on the appropriate PATROL Agents. 

To preload a KM, add it to the agent preload list by using the wpconfig or xpconfig utility. For information about the wpconfig or xpconfig utility, see the PATROL Agent Reference Manual.
