SNMP trap daemon

On the server operating Manager, the standard Linux SNMP trap daemon cannot be used.
Also applications that use the SNMP trap daemon cannot be used.

When "PRIMERGY server management software ServerView for Linux" is already installed, caution is necessary regarding AlarmService.
When not using AlarmService, uninstall it following the procedure below.
When using AlarmService, the ServerView trap transfer program (trpsrvd) is required.
For details, refer to "ServerView trap transfer program (trpsrvd)".

Uninstall AlarmService using the following procedure.

  1. Redefinition of ServerView alarm settings

    When alarm configuration has been performed on a ServerView Linux Agent, redefine the setting definitions for each server on the ServerView console.
