HP Data Protector Operations Guide

In the example below, the local Cell Manager hostname or Cell Manager IP address is added, as
well as the hostname or IP address of the remote trap receiver destination host.
The Cell Manger name/address in the security tab is necessary. If you set it to ‘Accept SNMP
traps from any host’, then no entries are necessary.
For further information, refer to SNMP Configuration on Windows in chapter 2 of the HP Data
Protector A06.10 integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows. For the latest
updates, check the integration guide.
Configure the Windows system to forward its SNMP traps to the Operations Manager Server as
follows:
1. To enable Data Protector to send SNMP traps, run the command:
omnisnmp
2. To set the SNMP mode execute the following command:
ovconfchg -ns eaagt -set SNMP_SESSION_MODE NO_TRAPD
3. Configure the SNMP Service on a Windows system to send traps to the Operations Manager
Server. The community name should be public (the default community name that Data Protector
SNMP traps use). The trap destination must be the IP address or the hostname of the Operations
Manager Server and the rights of the community must be READ CREATE.
To use a custom community name other than public, set the value in the Registry. Data Protector
will then use this name for sending SNMP traps:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HewlettPackard\OpenView\
OmniBackII\SNMPTrap CommunityREG_SZ:custom community name
