HP Store Once Backup System 4900 Installation and Configuration Guide

Configuring SNMP
This feature enables an HP StoreOnce Backup system to act as a Network Element in an SNMP
network so that it can communicate effectively with Network Management Stations using SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol). You use the StoreOnce CLI to enable this feature and
configure various settings, as described below.
The StoreOnce implementation of SNMP is compatible with and has been tested with HP System
Insight Manager (HP-SIM). It supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv3, which provides authentication.
1. Open the puTTy (or other ssh) application and log into the StoreOnce CLI as an Admin user.
2. Enter the following command to enable SNMP.
snmp enable
3. The following example is a basic example to capture alerts that are broadcast to the public
community. See the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide for more detailed information.
snmp add trapsink mysimserver.mycompany.local trap-community public
events alert
HP Systems Insight Manager
The MIBs, Management Information Bases, used to represent the information handled by the HP
StoreOnce Backup system are called SEMI-MIB.mib and TRAP-DESTINATIONS-MIB.mib and are
included on the CD supplied with your product (they can also be downloaded from http://
www.hp.com/go/hpsim). These databases must be compiled and registered with HP Systems
Insight Manager, so that information from the StoreOnce Backup system can be transmitted to and
interpreted by the management host.
There are three stages to setting up HP Systems Insight Manager for use with the HP StoreOnce
Backup system:
1. Register SEMI-MIB.mib and TRAP-DESTINATION-MIB within the base of MIBs supported by
HP Systems Insight Manager.
2. Update the existing system type database with the new system type for the HP StoreOnce
Backup system, based on the unique system object identifier.
3. Discover the HP StoreOnce Backup system under HP Systems Insight Manager
NOTE: For further information about implementing these three stages see the HP StoreOnce
Backup system user guide. For detailed instructions on working with HP-SIM, refer to the “HP
Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide”.
Saving configuration
NOTE: It is strongly recommended to save the configuration when you configure the network
using the system set config wizard. These section describes how to do this if you have not
used the wizard or if you have made subsequent configuration changes.
1. Open the puTTy (or other ssh) application and login to the StoreOnce CLI as an Admin user.
Save the configuration using the StoreOnce CLI command:
config save devices
2. Using sftp protocol and an application, such as filezilla, copy the following files from
/config to your local machine.
• devconfig<timestamp>.zip
• devconfig<timestamp>.txt
