Note! The tasks in this section are for advanced users. You should be familiar with SNMP trap concepts and technology.
You can use your operating system administration tools to monitor Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps on systems in your storage space, such as disk drive failures and logical device verifications. This section describes how to configure SNMP support for the Adaptec Storage Manager software. Adaptec Storage Manager supports SNMP “gets” and “traps” through the use of an SNMP agent.
To Configure SNMP Support on Windows:
Note! Be sure your Windows installation includes SNMP support. By default, Windows 2000 and Windows XP do not install SNMP.
To install and configure SNMP support:
Run the Adaptec Storage Manager installation program.
SNMP support is installed automatically, unless you choose to not install it.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation, then restart your system.
Open the Windows Computer Management tool, then select Services from the tree.
Double-click SNMP Service.
The SNMP Service Properties window opens.
Click the Traps tab, then enter the IP address of each system on which you want to enable traps.
Click OK.
Start the SNMP service.
To Configure SNMP Support on Linux:
For the Linux operating system, the Adaptec Storage Manager SNMP agent is a sub-agent that interfaces with the UCD-SNMP agentx architecture. UCD-SNMP is a third-party package for Linux; for information, documentation, and downloads, see www.net-snmp.org.
To configure SNMP support:
Install Adaptec Storage Manager.
Add Adaptec OID information and agentx extension information to the snmp.conf.
Delete /var/agentx/master (socket file for agentx).
Start the snmpd daemon and agentx.
Start aus-snmp daemon.
Refer to your Linux documentation for information on configuring UCD-SNMP, agentx, and setting up traps.
