Use this procedure to modify the SNMP connection settings for an existing library connection. Connection details include the following:

Caution – These settings are also defined on each monitored library, and for the SNMP connection to be successful, the values specified in this procedure must match the ones on the library. See “Configuring the Libraries for STA” in the STA Configuration Guide for instructions on modifying these settings on the library.

Caution – Changes to these settings cause the SNMP connection with the library to be dropped. Immediately after using this procedure, you must perform a connection test to re-establish the SNMP handshake with the library. Failure to do so will result in lost SNMP traps from the library until the completion of the next scheduled data collection, which may not be for several hours. See “Testing Library SNMP Connections” for additional information.

Note – For instructions on changing the scheduled data collection time or the library name, see “Change the Scheduled Data Collection Time”.

The Define Library Connection Details dialog box appears.

An information message appears, reminding you that a library connection test is required whenever you modify library connections.

The Monitored Libraries table is updated with your changes.

Caution – Note that the Library Engine ID field in the table is now blank. This happens automatically whenever you change library connection settings and is an indication that the SNMP connection with the library has been dropped. You must next perform a connection test to re-establish the connection.
