Oracle Hardware Management Pack Security
Oracle Hardware Management Pack Security
Oracle Hardware Management Pack is available for your server, and for many other Oracle
x86-based servers and some Oracle SPARC-based servers. Oracle Hardware Management Pack
features two components: an SNMP monitoring agent and a family of cross-operating system
command-line interface tools (CLI Tools) for managing your server.
■
Use Hardware Management Agent SNMP Plugins.
SNMP is a standard protocol used to monitor or manage a system. With the Hardware
Management Agent SNMP Plugins, you can use SNMP to monitor Oracle servers in your
data center with the advantage of not having to connect to two management points, the host
and Oracle ILOM. This functionality enables you to use a single IP address (the host’s IP
address) to monitor multiple servers.
The SNMP Plugins run on the host operating system of Oracle servers. The SNMP Plugin
module extends the native SNMP agent in the host operating system to provide additional
Oracle MIB capabilities. Oracle Hardware Management Pack itself does not contain an
SNMP agent. For Linux, a module is added to the net-snmp agent. For Oracle Solaris, a
module is added to the Oracle Solaris Management Agent. For Microsoft Windows, the
Plugin extends the native SNMP service. Any security settings related to SNMP for the
Oracle Hardware Management Pack are determined by the settings of the native SNMP
agent or service, and not by the Plugin.
Note that SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c provide no encryption and use community strings as a
form of authentication. SNMPv3 is more secure and is the recommended version to use
because it employs encryption to provide a secure channel, as well as individual user names
and passwords.
