Installing and Configuring the SNMP Agent
SNMP Configuration and Management Manual — 424777-006

RUN Command
backup-cpu-number
specifies a backup process processor for a persistent agent process pair. The
backup process monitors the primary process and takes over if the primary
process fails. HP strongly recommends that you use this parameter.
This parameter should be an integer that identifies one of the processors on
your system. By default, this parameter is omitted.
COLD | WARM
tells the SNMP agent what to do with the SNMP control file (SNMPCTL), if one
exists, and where to get the SNMP configuration information. Every SNMP
agent process stores configuration information and persistent MIB information
in a file named SNMPCTL in the run subvolume.
COLD
instructs the SNMP agent to purge any SNMPCTL file in the run
subvolume and create a new, empty SNMP file. To enable the SNMP agent
to receive requests through TCP/IP, configure at least one ENDPOINT
object. You can then complete your configuration either through SCF or
through SNMP, as described in
Part II, SCF for the SNMP Agent
and in
Configuring the SNMP Agent Through SNMP Requests
on page 2-17.
WARM
instructs the SNMP agent to use the SNMPCTL file in the run subvolume.
If no SNMP file exists, the SNMP agent creates one and fills it with the
default configuration values. WARM is the default value for this parameter.
COLLECTOR [$alternate-collector-process]
identifies the EMS collector to which the SNMP agent and its backup process
send event messages. The default is $0 on the local node.
To suppress event messages, include this parameter with no value:
COLLECTOR
To send event messages to an alternate collector, identify the name of the
collector process:
COLLECTOR $alternate-collector-process
After the SNMP agent is running, you can specify an alternate collector by
using SCF. For more information, refer to
Part II, SCF for the SNMP Agent
.
If you specify a nonexistent alternate collector process name, event messages
are suppressed.
Note.
No additional configuration beyond that provided through the RUN
command startup parameters is required for the SNMP agent to receive SNMP
requests solely through NonStop Kernel IPC calls.
