itpconfig Usage Scenario

The high level steps for enabling fault forwarding are:

1. Install the Oracle Hardware Management Agents and SNMP Plugins packages.

   See Oracle Hardware Management Pack Installation Guide

   These packages contain all the necessary software for itpconfig.

2. Enable the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect, required for itpconfig to function.

   The Host-to-ILOM Interconnect can be configured during installation. Alternatively you can use itpconfig, see How to Enable Host-to-ILOM Interconnect.

3. Enable the ILOM trap proxy.

   See How to Enable Trap Forwarding

   Note -  itpconfig uses ILOM Notification Alert Rule 15 to set up the trap forwarding. If this alert rule is in use, itpconfig fails. See itpconfig Troubleshooting for a work around.

4. Start or restart the SNMP service daemon on the server.

   Refer to your OS documentation.

5. Start a trap listener on the destination server configured to listen to traps from the port and community described in the itpconfig arguments.

   Any faults generated by the service processor should now generate an SNMP trap which are sent to the destination SNMP trap listener.
