HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux

6. Optional: Configure the system to send SNMP traps.
NOTE: These steps might vary slightly, depending on your version of Linux. Refer to your
Linux provider for details if these file paths and file names do not exist on your system.
a. Verify that SNMP is installed by executing the following command:
rpm -qa | grep snmp
If SNMP is not installed, the previous command does not return a components list. Refer
to your Linux provider for information on installing SNMP.
b. Verify if the HP Server Management Drivers and Agents from the ProLiant Support Pack
for Linux is installed by executing the following command:
rpm -qa | grep hpasm
If the drivers and agents are not installed, the previous command does not return a
components list. If they are installed, verify that the HP Server Management Driver and
agent daemon are running by executing the following command:
/etc/init.d/hpasm status
c. If the HP Server Management Drivers and Agents daemons are running, stop them using
the following command:
/etc/init.d/hpasm stop
NOTE: If the HP Server Management Drivers and Agents daemon is not installed, omit
this step and step g.
d. Stop the SNMP daemon:
/etc/init.d/snmpd stop
e. Edit the snmpd.conf file using any text editor.
For Red Hat Linux, run the following command for opening this file in the vi editor:
vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3 and SUSE 11, run the following command for
opening this file in the vi editor:
vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
i. Remove the comment symbol (#) from the trapsink line, and add the IP address of
the CMS. This system has Systems Insight Manager application running:
trapsink IPaddress
where IPaddress is the IP address of the CMS.
NOTE: If snmpd is already installed, type man snmpd and read the manpage to
determine how to configure the trapsink parameter.
NOTE: If the trapsink entry is not available in the snmpd.conf, enter it manually
using the following command:
trapsink CMS IP
where CMS IP is the location you want to send the traps from the managed nodes.
ii. If the following line exists in the read-only community:
community CommunityName IPaddress
Change it to:
rocommunity CommunityName IPaddress
