Configuration Files, Dependencies, and Requirements

This chapter defines the NMA software requirements and dependencies.

This chapter contains the following sections:


Configuration Files

The following table summarizes the NMA configuration files.


TABLE 2-1   NMA Configuration Files  
File Description
/etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nma.properties NMA properties file. See the nma.properties4 man page for more information.
/etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nma.security NMA SNMPv3 security parameter configuration file. See the nma.security4 man page for more information.
/etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nma.notifs.txt SNMP trap identification configuration file. See Chapter 4 for more information.
/etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nma.params.txt SNMP trap parameter configuration file. See Chapter 4 for more information.
/etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nma.targets.txt SNMP trap target configuration file. See Chapter 4 for more information.
/etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nma.uacl.template Template for SNMPv3 user access configuration file. See Chapter 4 for more information.
/etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nma.acl.template Template for SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 IP configuration file. See Chapter 4 for more information.

SNMP applications can also manipulate SNMPv3 configuration by using the com.sun.jdmk.snmp.rfc2573.managerSnmpV3AppliMibRegistration class.


Dependencies

To enable an external Java manager to access NMA statistics, the class path of the external Java manager must contain the following Java Archive (JAR) files:

These JAR files are contained in the SUNWnhmaj package, the SUNWjdrt package, and the SUNWjsnmp package.


Software Requirements

The NMA requires the Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE™) 1.4.2 for the Solaris 9 OS and the Solaris 10 OS.

A Java DMK client requires the Java DMK 5.0 runtime libraries, but the usage of Java DMK communication interfaces is configurable. Both Java DMK 4.2 clients and Java DMK 5.0 clients are supported. To interface with Java DMK 4.2 clients, set the value of the jmx.serial.form property to 1.0
