Setting Up SNMP Notifications on Linux
For the Linux operating system, the Adaptec Storage Manager SNMP agent is a sub-agent that
interfaces with the UCD-SNMP agentx architecture. UCD-SNMP is a third-party package for
Linux; for information, documentation, and downloads, see www.net-snmp.org.
To configure SNMP support:
1
Install Adaptec Storage Manager (see
page 20
).
2
Add Adaptec OID information and agentx extension information to the snmp.conf.
3
Delete
/var/agentx/master
(socket file for agentx).
4
Start the snmpd daemon and agentx.
5
Start aus-snmp daemon.
Refer to your Linux documentation for information on configuring UCD-SNMP, agentx, and
setting up traps.
Notifying
All
Users About Status and Activity
You can set Adaptec Storage Manager to send status alerts about a specified system to all users
who are logged into your storage space. You might want to do this if your storage space isn’t
managed by a dedicated person, or if that particular system is off-site or not connected to a
monitor. Event alerts signal everyone working on the storage space that a system requires
technical assistance.
When you set Adaptec Storage Manager to broadcast event alerts,
all
logged-in users receive
messages about
all
types of events. In Windows, these alerts appear as pop-up messages; in all
other operating systems, these alerts appear as console messages.
When enabled, event alerts occur independent of event notifications (see
page 106
) and email
notifications (see
page 111
).
To enable event alerts:
1
In the Enterprise View, select the system you want.
1
On the tool bar, click
Configure
, point to the system you want, then click
General Settings
.
The Adaptec Storage Manager Agent General Settings window opens for that system. (See
the figure on
page 131
.)
