Using the SNMP Trap Manager

Use the SNMP Trap Manager to notify other systems running an SNMP console of all SNMP traps that occur on the enclosures connected to a management service. You add system names to the SNMP traps list. Each system in the list is notified of all traps that occur on the enclosure.

You can use the SNMP Trap Manager to:

The SNMP Trap Manager is enabled by default. To disable the SNMP Trap Manager, click Actions Disable SNMP Traps. If you disable the SNMP Trap Manager, the SNMP traps are generated, but not dispatched to managed systems.

An example

You install SystemA in a lab with an iSCSI storage appliance. You configure SystemA to send SNMP traps from the iSCSI storage appliance, but you want to monitor the traps from your workstation, not SystemA. You open the SystemA SNMP Trap Manager from the Adaptec Storage Manager and define your workstation in the SNMP traps list. When running the SNMP console from your workstation, you are notified of all SNMP traps that occur on the iSCSI storage appliance attached to SystemA.

The SNMP Trap Manager and traps

Traps generated by SNMP include the following:

When an SNMP trap is generated on an enclosure, the SNMP Trap Manager connects with each system in the SNMP traps list and relays the trap to these systems' SNMP consoles.

The SNMP Trap Manager also logs each trap to a logging file, RaidSNMP.log. If this file exceeds 200 KB, the Manager copies the file to RaidSNMP.old and creates a new RaidSNMP.log. If there is a RaidSNMP.old already, the Manager overwrites it.

The SNMP Trap Manager interface
