Configure SNMP Trap Destinations for storage servers


Note -  Do not attempt to copy and paste commands that span across multiple lines from this section. Manually type commands that span across multiple lines to ensure the commands are typed properly.

Complete the following steps on each storage server:

  1. Log in as celladmin on the storage server.
  2. On the storage server, add SNMP trap destinations:

    # cellcli -e “alter cell snmpSubscriber=(host ='ASR-Manager-name-or-IP-address',port=162,community=public,type=asr)”

    Note that single quotes are required around the ASR-Manager-name-or-IP-address entry. Following are the element definitions for the command above:

    • host='ASR-Manager-name-or-IP-address' – The ASR Manager hostname can be used when DNS is enable for the site. If DNS is not running, the IP address is preferred, but the ASR Manager hostname can be used if the entry is added to the /etc/hosts file.

    • type=asr – Shows the ASR Manager as being a special type of SNMP subscriber.

    • community=public – The required value of the community string. This value can be modified to be a different string based on customer network requirements.

    • port=162 – The SNMP port. This port value is customer dependant. It can be configured as a different port based on network requirements, or it may need to be changed for ASR to work correctly in a managed environment.

  3. Validate if Oracle ILOM auto-activation occurred (if the network and Oracle ILOM are set up correctly):

    # asr list_asset

    For example:

    IP_ADDRESS     HOST_NAME       SERIAL_NUMBER   ASR       PROTOCOL   SOURCE
    ----------     ---------       -------------   ---       --------   -----
    10.60.40.105   ssc1cel01       1234FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP       ILOM
    10.60.40.106   ssc1cel02       1235FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP       ILOM
    10.60.40.107   ssc1cel03       1236FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP       ILOM
    10.60.40.117   ssc1cel01-ilom  1234FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP,HTTP  EXADATA-SW
    10.60.40.118   ssc1cel02-ilom  1235FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP,HTTP  EXADATA-SW
    10.60.40.119   ssc1cel03-ilom  1236FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP,HTTP  EXADATA-SW
    
    • If all Oracle ILOMs for the storage servers are in the list, go to Step 5.

    • If Oracle ILOMs are not in the list, go to Step 4.

  4. On the ASR Manager, activate the Oracle ILOMs of the storage servers:

    # asr activate_asset -i ILOM-IP-address

    or

    # asr activate_asset -h ILOM-hostname


    Note -  If the last step fails, verify that port 6481 on the Oracle ILOM is open. If port 6481 is open and the step still fails, contact ASR Support.
  5. Activate the Exadata OS side of the ASR support:

    # asr activate_exadata -i host-management-IP-address -h host-management-hostname -l ILOM-IP-address

    or

    # asr activate_exadata -i host-management-IP-address -h host-management-hostname -n ILOM-hostname

  6. Validate all storage servers are visible on the ASR Manager:

    # asr list_asset

    You should see both the Oracle ILOM and the host referenced in the list, with the same serial number, as shown in the following example output:

    IP_ADDRESS     HOST_NAME       SERIAL_NUMBER   ASR       PROTOCOL   SOURCE
    ----------     ---------       -------------   ---       --------   -----
    10.60.40.105   ssc1cel01       1234FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP       ILOM
    10.60.40.106   ssc1cel02       1235FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP       ILOM
    10.60.40.107   ssc1cel03       1236FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP       ILOM
    10.60.40.117   ssc1cel01-ilom  1234FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP,HTTP  EXADATA-SW
    10.60.40.118   ssc1cel02-ilom  1235FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP,HTTP  EXADATA-SW
    10.60.40.119   ssc1cel03-ilom  1236FMM0CA      Enabled   SNMP,HTTP  EXADATA-SW
    
  7. On the storage server, validate the configuration:

    # cellcli -e “list cell attributes snmpsubscriber”

  8. On the storage server, validate the SNMP configuration:

    # cellcli -e “alter cell validate snmp type=asr”

    The MOS contact receives an email as confirmation.

  9. Repeat these instructions for every storage server in your SuperCluster system.
  10. When you have completed these instructions for every storage server in your SuperCluster system, approve and verify contacts to the storage servers on MOS.

    See Approve and Verify ASR Activation for SuperCluster systems Assets for those instructions.

    For more information on the process, see ASR MOS 5.3+ Activation Process (Doc ID 1329200.1).
