APPENDIX
SNMP Installation
The installation of the SNMP manager is accomplished in several
phases:
• Installing the Manager software on the client
• Placing a copy of the management information base (MIB) in a
directory which is accessible to the management application
• Compiling the MIB description file with the management
application
MIB Compilation and Definition File creation
Before the manager application accesses the RAID controller, user
needs to integrate the MIB into the management application’s da-
tabase of events and status indicator codes. This process is known
as compiling the MIB into the application. This process is highly
vendor-specific and should be well-covered in the User’s Guide of
your SNMP application. Ensure the compilation process successfully
integrates the contents of the
SansDigital
.MIB file into the traps
database.
Location for MIB
Depending upon the SNMP management application used, the MIB
must be placed in a specific directory on the network management
station running the management application. The MIB file must be
manually copied to this directory. For example:
Your management application may have a different target direc-
tory. Consult the management application’s user manual for the
correct location.
