Intel Server Management (ISM) Concepts
9. Save and close the snmpd.conf file.
10. Reboot the server.
Create an SMNPv3 User Account
11. Open the file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.
12. Create a user account with read-write access, which the snmpd daemon will use on the managed server.
13.Set a password for the snmp daemon’s user account by adding the following line to
/var/ucd-snmp/snmpd.conf (be sure to stop the snmpd daemon using /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd stop
before editing the file):
createUser -e 0x001122(engind ID) username MD5 md5_password DES des_password
For example,
createUser -e 0x001122 janedoe MD5 mysecretpass
Once you have added the line, restart the snmpd daemon using the following command.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd start
NOTE The set action of some SNMP attributes causes the managed server to shutdown/power off. To
globally disallow all set requests, edit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dmi2snmpd file as follows:
Under the case for start, change the line ./dmi2snmpd which starts the DMI to SNMP
translator daemon to ./dmi2snmpd –w.
14. Reboot the server.
Step 6. Configure Console Systems After Installing ISM
Configure SNMP for LanAlert Viewer
NOTE In order for the LANAlert Viewer to run properly, the minimum display setting must be 256
colors with resolution at 1024x768 or higher.
If you will use the LanAlert Viewer to receive alerts on a Windows console, you will need to enable SNMP
services on that console system (see page 24 for information about LAN Alerts). Verify that SNMP Service
and SNMP Trap Service are running on the console system. If they are not, install these services using the
Windows installation CD. This lets you receive special SNMP traps as generated by the managed server
firmware that will report on changes in server health or condition.
For information about the format of SNMP traps used by LanAlert, see the ISM Technical Product
Specification, available at Intel’s Web support site.
Activate SNMP Trap Service for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003
From the operating system CD, perform the following:
1. Open the control panel and select Add/Remove Programs
2. Click Add/Remove Windows Components
3. Click the Management and Monitoring Tools checkbox
4. Click Next
