10.1.4.5 Managing SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a communication protocol for network,
system and application management and enables the units to be monitored over a LAN. An
SNMP manager can communicate with the installed SNMP agent via a management
station.
You administer central SNMP integration of the SE server using the SE Manager on the
Management Unit. The preconfiguration is created in such a manner that you can also use
SNMP to monitor the other units of the SE server on the management stations provided a
configuration for SNMP integration exists on the Management Unit (read access, trap
receiver):
● Queries regarding the Server Unit /390 are possible on the Management Unit (see the
private MIBs).
● Management stations cannot address the SNMP agent on the Server Unit x86 or HNC
directly, but only via the Management Unit. When the query takes place, the unit name
must be prefixed. The SNMP agent supports the MIB-II and private MIBs for queries.
● In defined error situations (e.g. status changes) the SNMP agent on the Server Unit x86
or HNC sends traps via the Management Unit to the external management stations. The
sender of the trap is always the Management Unit.
● On Application Units, on the other hand, you must configure SNMP yourself.
The following private MIBs must be imported to the management station in order to permit
access in read mode and to enable the traps to be interpreted:
● /usr/share/snmp/mibs/FUJITSU-SESERVER-MIB.txt
● /usr/share/snmp/mibs/FUJITSU-SU390-MIB.txt
At the Management Units and Server Units x86, ServerView RAID periodically checks
hardware components. These events are reported by trap, even in good case with the
weight NOTIFICATION. Text example of such a successful test: "Patrol Read started" and
"Patrol Read finished".
In order for ServerView RAID's traps to be correctly represented by the management
station, the MIB /usr/share/snmp/mibs/FSC-RAID-MIB.txt must be imported to the
management station.
i The traps usually contain neither the trap weight nor the message text. This
information can only be read from the MIB.
Access to these MIB files on the Management Unit is, for example, possible under any
administrator account with scp (secure copy).
