RUN Command
SWAPVOL #disk-name
identifies the disk to use for swapping extended memory.
Specify disk-name as an unqualified device name. Any qualification is
ignored.
The default disk is the volume used for swapping the virtual data SNMP agent
processes, as specified by the optional SWAP run option. If you omit both the
SWAPVOL startup parameter and the SWAP run option, the volume on which
SNMPAGT resides is used for both swapping and extended memory swapping,
a situation that can result in insufficient available space.
TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME [$node.]$tcpip-process
specifies the default TCP/IP process to be used when request/response
connection points and trap destinations are defined for the SNMP agent. Start
the agent using the TCPSAM or TCP6SAM process name as input to this
startup parameter only when the product is going to be run on Parallel Library
TCP/IP or Nonstop TCP/IPv6.
The TCP/IP process is used as:
•
The default NETWORK attribute value for ENDPOINT objects created
through SCF and the default zagInEpNetwork object value for
zagInEndpointTable rows created through SNMP
•
The default NETWORK attribute for TRAPDEST objects created through
SCF and the default zagInTdNetwork object value for zagInTrapdestTable
rows created through SNMP
If you do not include the TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME startup parameter, the
default TCP/IP process is $ZTC0 on the local node.
TRACE
enables tracing of the agent process if the backup process takes over. By
default, tracing is not enabled.
When you enable tracing through TRACE, the SNMP agent creates a primary
trace file (ZZSMPTRP) and a backup trace file (ZZSMPTRB) in the subvolume
from which the primary trace file was started. To specify different trace file
names, use a TACL DEFINE statement. For example:
ADD DEFINE =PRIMARY-TRACE-FILE, CLASS MAP, FILE $SYSTEM.SNMP.SNMPTRCP
ADD DEFINE =BACKUP-TRACE-FILE, CLASS MAP, FILE $SYSTEM.SNMP.SNMPTRCB
For information about the DEFINE statement, refer to the TACL Reference
Manual.
Use the TRACE startup parameter to enable tracing in the backup process.
You can initiate tracing of the primary agent process by using the SCF TRACE
command (as discussed in Section 7, Troubleshooting the SNMP Agent), but
