Sun Management Center CA Integration Package User's Guide for Unicenter TNG

Using the Application Tasks

When using the Sun Management Center Integration package, you can perform the following tasks:

To Discover Sun Management Center Agents

You must discover the Sun Management Center agents when you begin the application tasks.

If Unicenter TNG is already monitoring the host, you must first delete the objects in the WorldView console and re-discover them.

  1. Delete the objects of the Sun Management Center agents in the Unicenter TNG WorldView console.

    1. Select the Network Topology icon

      The objects are displayed.

    2. Delete the objects.

  2. Discover the network in the Unicenter TNG WorldView console.

    1. Select the Unicenter TNG Tools icon.

    2. Select the Discovery Wizard to discover the network.

      Note –

      If you encounter problems discovering the Sun Management Center agents, see Cannot Discover a Sun Management Center Agent in Unicenter TNG.

      The Sun Management Center agents and their loaded modules are displayed in the Unicenter TNG WorldView console.

    3. Select the DomainBrowser icon.

      The contents of the DomainBrowser are displayed.

    4. Select a node that is a Sun Management Center agent.

For more information on how to discover Sun Management Center agents, refer to the Unicenter TNG User's Guide.

To Discover a Sun Management Center Agent That Is Running on a Port Other Than the Default Port of 161

  1. Create a pollset.

    A pollset needs to be created in the Unicenter environment for each port on which Sun Management Center could run. For more information on creating pollsets, see the Unicenter TNG User's Guide.

    1. Create a file with the following content.


      ADDOBJECT="SunMC001" PollSet
BEGIN
interval TNGWV_OT_INT 600 0
timeout TNGWV_OT_INT 10 0
retries TNGWV_OT_INT 2 0
port_number TNGWV_OT_INT 1161 0
getCommunityString TNGWV_OT_STRING "public" 0
setCommunityString TNGWV_OT_STRING "admin" 0
retriesInterval TNGWV_OT_INT 0 0
objectFilter TNGWV_OT_STRING "SunMC" 0
hostFilter TNGWV_OT_STRING "*" 0
END

      Through this file, a pollset with the name “SunMC001” and the port 1161 is created.

    2. Run the trix command to load the pollset into Unicenter.


      trix -r  repository-name  -u repository-user  -p  password  -f \
path-to-the-pollset-file-created-in-step1

      Example:


      trix -r HRrepository -u user1 -p pass3 -f /pollset_1161.txt

  2. Discover the host.

    Discover the host by using standard Unicenter TNG discovery mechanisms.

  3. Reclassify the host.

    Reclassify the host to the correct Sun host type, if necessary. Refer to the Unicenter TNG User's Guide for more information on how to perform the reclassify operation.

    Once the reclassify operation has completed, the Sun Management Center agents that are running on that host are automatically discovered in Unicenter.

To View the Status of the Sun Management Center Agents

You can view and monitor the status of the Sun Management Center agents from within the Unicenter TNG WorldView console.

Each alarm severity state in Sun Management Center has been mapped to the closest counterpart of that severity state in Unicenter TNG. The following table contains the mapping between alarm severity states/colors in Sun Management Center and Unicenter TNG:
