SNMP Remote System Management
SNMP is a part of the TCP/IP protocol suite that supports maintenance
functions for storage and communication devices. The USP V uses SNMP to
transfer status and management commands to the SNMP Manager on the
UNIX/PC server host via a notebook PC (see
Figure 4-1). When the SNMP
manager requests status information or when a service information message
(SIM) occurs, the SNMP agent on the USP V notifies the SNMP manager on the
UNIX/PC server. Notification of USP V error conditions is made in real time,
providing the UNIX/PC server user with the same level of monitoring and
support available to the mainframe user. The SIM reporting via SNMP enables
the user to monitor the USP V from the UNIX/PC server host.
When a SIM occurs, the USP V SNMP agent initiates trap operations, which
alert the SNMP manager of the SIM condition. The SNMP manager receives the
SIM traps from the SNMP agent, and can request information from the SNMP
agent at any time.
Note: The user is responsible for configuring the SNMP manager on the SGI
IRIX server host. For assistance with SNMP manager configuration on the SGI
IRIX server host, refer to the user documentation, or contact the vendor’s
technical support.
