6.4 Running the DMI Mapper on Solaris

When running the DMI mapper snmpXdmid in a Solaris environment, the proper flow of SNMP information must be insured by:

• Adding an entry in the snmpdx.acl file for each host that receives the mapper traps.

• Making sure that the community name used by management applications for requests to the mapper allows write access. This is specified in the snmpdx.acl file. If you do not allow write access for the community name, Get and Set operations issued by management applications that use that community name will fail.

• Making sure the trap-ids from 0 through 16 are covered under Sun enterprise for traps in snmpdx.acl. This is handled automatically when snmpXdmid is installed on the system.

The snmp.conf file contains a description of the format for entries and provides instructions for adding entries. The snmp.conf file is located in the /etc directory.
