Hi Stan:

 I had thought of this approach and checked the manual for the mib
specification of
hp.nm.system.general.mpeXLSystem.processor.processorMIstate.
According to the docs it's read-only, default is 2 (as you stated)
which is disabled.

 But... I thought I'd try it anyway... the following is the result:
:snmpset genesis public hp.nm.system.general.mpeXLSystem.processor.processorMIst
ate integer 1
Error in packet.  Error status is 5. (SNMPWARN 908)

 I also tried appending the ".0" to the mib variable, same result.

 So I searched the CDROM for this error message - nada.  Arg!  Then I
searched for more information on SNMPSET and decided to try it's
example.  And I quote from the manual (hoping I won't be sued)


     MPEXL: snmpset xlnode public system.syscontact.0
                    Octetstring " 'Bob Jones' "
                      Name:  system.sysContact.0
     Display String: Bob Jones
     MPEXL:

 The following shows my results:

:snmpset genesis public system.syscontact.0 Octetstring " 'Jim Alton' "
The variable specified does not exist. (SNMPINFO 1802).
:snmpget genesis public system.syscontact.0
Name: system.sysContact.0
Display String:

:

 Hmmmm.... I just don't know.
