Host Resources Subagent
SNMP Configuration and Management Manual—424777-006
11-9
Installation Steps
•
DSM Template Services (D21 or later)
•
At least one SNMP manager that can send requests to the SNMP agent for
processing by the Host Resources Subagent
•
If the NonStop Kernel OSS environment is to be monitored, the OSS Monitor
(OSSMON) must be running.
Installation Steps
Run the Distributed Systems Management /Software Configuration Manager
(DSM/SCM) to install EMS, DSM Template Services, and the Host Resources
Subagent. Refer to the DSM/SCM User’s Guide for complete software installation
information.
Ensure that the EMS file named ZHRMTMPL is installed in the system template file.
When you use the SYSGEN utility to generate your system, this file is automatically
installed in the system template file. Otherwise, you must manually install it. Refer to
the EMS Manual for more information.
Load the ASN.1 source code for the Host Resources Subagent’s MIB onto any SNMP
manager you want to communicate with the subagent. The MIB definitions are
contained in three files:
•
Standard MIB definitions. Two files are provided:
•
The RFC1514 file contains definitions identical to those in RFC 1514, with two
exceptions. InternationalDisplayString objects and hrPartitionID have been
redefined as DisplayString objects so that managers can display their values in
a readable format instead of hexadecimal format. Additionally, the two Boolean
objects have been redefined as INTEGER objects with values of TRUE and
FALSE, displayable by managers.
•
The RFC1514A file contains the same definitions as RFC 1514 with several
exceptions. DESCRIPTION clauses have been modified to provide information
specific to HP systems. Several read-write objects have been redefined as
read-only objects to reflect the Host Resource Subagent’s implementation. And
several comments have been added to provide a summary of conformance
with RFC 1514.
•
MIB extensions. The ZHRMMIB file contains definitions for groups and traps
defined by HP.
You can load definitions for both a standard MIB and the MIB extensions, only the
standard definitions, or only the extended definitions.
The Host Resources Subagent provides information for resources on the NonStop
system where it is installed. The subagent can communicate with a SNMP agent on
either the same system or a remote system, but only one subagent process can
communicate with any particular SNMP agent process.
