SNMP

SNMP is another avenue the Server Hardware Manager Monitor uses to present events to the user. Only

critical events are sent by using SNMP. The Server Hardware Manager Monitor sends traps to destinations

that are contained in the Server Hardware Manager Monitor configuration file (SHM.config).

SNMP traps are only generated for critical events.

The Server Hardware Manager Monitor configuration file is located in the installation directory. The

following is the default location of the configuration files.

Although the Server Hardware Manager Monitor runs automatically upon installation, you must configure

a trap destination in the configuration file for SNMP to function correctly. A trap destination has the

following format:

ip=ipaddress[:port]

For example:

ip=192.168.1.1:1050

• Address — The IP address of the destination

• Port — Port on the target machine the trap receiver listens

Refer to the documentation of the trap listener for the port number it uses. If no port is specified, Storage

Enclosure Monitor sends traps to the default port– 162.

NOTE: After any changes are made to the SNMP configuration file, you must stop and start the

serviceor daemon for changes to take effect.

Events

The Server Hardware Manager Monitor logs all event types. However, SNMP sends only critical events to

the trap destination. This list outlines the critical or warning events:

• Power Supply Unit (PSU)

– PSU is removed

– DC voltage goes out of range of safe operating values

– DC current goes out of range of safe operating values

• Fan is removed

• Temperature Sensor
