To Modify the SNMPv3 Credentials for the Management Features of a Server

This procedure describes how to modify the management feature SNMPv3 credentials for a server. The management feature SNMPv3 credentials allow the N1 System Manager to communicate with the Sun Management Center SNMP agent and are specifically for the base management and OS monitoring features for a managed server. These credentials, specifically for the base management and OS monitoring features for a managed server and referred to by the examples in this chapter as agentsnmpv3 credentials, are not the same as the SNMP credentials required for the server's management network IP address.

See Introduction to Monitoring for more information about the SNMP agents for OS monitoring in the N1 System Manager.

Steps

1. Log in to the N1 System Manager.

   See To Access the N1 System Manager Command Line for details.

2. Run the following command to specify the SNMP credentials on a server:

   N1-ok> set server server agentsnmpv3 agentsnmpv3

   The SNMP credentials are modified. See set server in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Command Line Reference Manual for details about command syntax.

   This set server operation does not actually touch the managed server. It just synchronizes the data on the management server itself.
