It is pretty simple. Please read the following article: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/rma- ... tm#install

You should download appropriate binary module (for Intel or SPARC platform), copy it into some folder on Solaris system, unpack, adjust settings in rma.ini file and start the agent in daemon or interactive mode. Please note: Port, specified in rma.ini file should be opened on firewall.

On the HostMonitor's side, you should create a record for this agent using "RMA Manager" utility or using "Agents List" window in HostMonitor's directly. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... #agentlist

After that, you should create a certain test and select appropriate RMA from "Test By" dropdown in "Test Properties" window.

Looks like port, you have specified in rma.ini file, is already utilized by other applications.
You may try to run netstat utility to find out, what ports are already utilized.

On the other hand, probably, rma daemon is already started on your system? You may use ps -e | grep rma command to check it out.

For the configuration purposes, I would suggest you to start rma in interactive mode using -i -vd command line parameters. e.g.
./rma -i -vd /export/home/ahamza/test/rma.ini

After you receive new license codes (Registration Name and Registration code), you have to insert these data into appropriate fields into "Registration" window using HostMonitor menu "Help" -> "License.." -> "Register Now".
