Installing and Configuring ftlSNMP
Simple Network Management Using Net-SNMP and ftlSNMP
8-3
The ftlSNMP package is preinstalled with the default
Express Builder
installation, and
only
requires configuration and deployment. Files in the ftlSNMP package are located
in the
following directories:
•
/etc/opt/ft/snmp
—Contains the fault-tolerant subagent configuration
templates and the Net-SNMP master agent configuration template.
•
/etc/opt/ft/snmp/scripts
—Contains the start, stop, and restart scripts.
•
/opt/ft/doc/lsb-ft-snmp-4.0
—
Contains the README file.
•
/opt/ft/mibs
—Contains the SRA-ftLinux-MIB file.
•
/opt/ft/sbin
—Contains thefault-tolerant subagents (ftlsubagent and
ftltrapsubagent).
•
/opt/ft/share/man/en/man8
—Contains the fault-tolerant subagent man
pages.
Manually Installing and Upgrading the ftlSNMP RPM
Whenever possible, avoid manual installation of ftlSNMP. Use the standard
Express
Builder
installation and upgrade procedures to manage ftlSNMP installations and
upgrades.
Remove earlier versions of ftlSNMP before you install a later ftlSNMP
release. Whenever the
Express Builder
is upgraded, the ftlSNMP distribution may
require updating
as
well. Among other reasons, changes in the
/proc
virtual file
system, in supported hardware configurations, and in device support may need to
be reflected in the SRA-ftLinux-MIB file and possibly in supporting scripts. You can
expect ftlSNMP to be upgraded with most significant
Express Builder
upgrades.
Search for any prior ftlSNMP with the following command:
#
rpm -qa | grep lsb-ft-snmp
Run the following command to uninstall any conflicting SNMP package installation that
is found:
#
rpm -e lsb-ft-snmp
Before you upgrade, make sure the prerequisite Net-SNMP packages are installed. To
install or upgrade ftlSNMP from the distribution RPM, enter the following command:
#
rpm -Uvh
path
/
lsb-ft-snmp-4.0-
nnnn
.
x86_64.rpm
The string
path
is the directory containing the RPM, and
nnnn
is the
Express Builder
build
number. The executables will be placed in
/opt/ft/sbin/ftltrapsubagent
and
/opt/ft/sbin/ftlsubagent
. A plain text file representing SRA-ftLinux-MIB will
be placed in the
/opt/ft/mibs
directory.
