2.1 Receiving SNMP Traps

First, set up an environment in which devices can send SNMP Traps.

Server Node

SNMP Trap transmission place addresses are automatically set for the server node agent when this software registers devices.

If Manager operates across multiple networks, however, this software may not be able to set correct settings for the server node agent. In this event, check whether SNMP Trap transmission place addresses are correctly set for the server node agent. The files indicated below for the server nodes specify the SNMP Trap transmission place addresses of the server node agent. Check the addresses, and edit any address that must be corrected. To operate according to the contents of the file the restart of Agent is needed.

Server Node OS	Place of File
Windows	$TMP_DIR\ESC\Agent\var\sanm.ip ($TMP_DIR means "Work Directory" specified at the Agent installation.)
Solaris OS, Linux, HP-UX, AIX	/var/opt/FJSVssage/sanm.ip

Note

The SNMP Trap fault monitoring function is not supported for VMware vSphere 4 or later.

Support Levels A, B

When this software registers devices, SNMP Trap transmission place addresses are automatically set for devices to be managed.

However, if Manager operates across multiple networks, this software may not be able to set the correct setting for each device to be managed. In this case, check whether SNMP Trap transmission target addresses are correctly set for the managed devices.

In addition, if SNMP Trap transmission place addresses are automatically set, the SNMP Trap transmission send destination community name is fixed to "public".

Support Levels E, I (for Devices Supporting SNMP Traps): The SNMP Trap transmission place address is set on a device to the Management Server. For details of this setting, refer to the operation manual of the device.

Support Level I (for Devices Not Supporting SNMP Traps)

Fault monitoring by the mechanism is disabled since said devices do not support the SNMP Trap function.

Other server nodes (including Solaris OS and Windows server nodes without an agent) do not support fault management.

Note

Check whether the SNMP Trap monitoring service is running. If not, start it. For details about checking and starting the service, refer to the following sections:

For Windows environment
"13.3.1.1 Starting and Stopping SNMP Trap Monitoring Service"
For Solaris environment
"13.3.2.1 Starting and Stopping SNMP Trap Monitoring Daemon"
For Linux environment
"13.3.3.1 Starting and Stopping SNMP Trap Monitoring Daemon"
