NMS OAM and agmon differences

agmon is deprecated with the introduction of NMS OAM. NMS OAM provides all functionality formerly provided by agmon. NMS OAM differs from agmon in the following ways:

The utilities supplied with NMS OAM use configuration files as a convenient way to supply information to the NMS OAM database. However, when NMS OAM starts boards, the information in the database for each board (not the configuration files) determines how the board is configured.

Note: NMS OAM and agmon cannot be used simultaneously.
