1.5.5 Cluster SNMP Agent

Sun Cluster includes a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent, along with a Management Information Base (MIB), for the cluster. The name of the agent file is snmpd (SNMP daemon) and the name of the MIB is sun.mib.

The Sun Cluster SNMP agent is capable of monitoring several clusters (a maximum of 32) at the same time. In a typical Sun Cluster, you can manage the cluster from the administration workstation or System Service Processor (Sun Enterprise 10000). By installing the Sun Cluster SNMP agent on the administration workstation or System Service Processor, network traffic is regulated and the CPU power of the nodes is not wasted in transmitting SNMP packets.
