Update the Library Engine ID After a Library Firmware Upgrade

▼	Update the Library Engine ID After a Library Firmware Upgrade

Use this procedure to update the library and STA SNMP configurations after upgrading to one of the following library firmware versions or higher from any earlier version:

•	SL500 – FRS 1468

•	SL3000 – FRS 4.0

•	SL8500 – FRS 8.0

Starting with these firmware versions, the library engine ID is generated with a new 32‑bit value. If you do not perform this procedure, STA will be unable to receive SNMP traps from the library.

Note – This procedure does not apply to SL150 libraries, nor to SL500, SL3000, and SL8500 upgrades to earlier firmware versions.

The procedure is divided into the following parts:

•	“Update SNMP Settings in the STA Application”

•	“Update SNMP Settings on the Library” — These steps apply only if you are using SNMP v3 for SNMP communications between STA and the libraries; you can skip these steps if you are using SNMP v2c.

▼	Update SNMP Settings in the STA Application

1.	Log in to the STA user interface.

2.	Edit the library connection details for the upgraded library. See “Change SNMP Connection Details for a Monitored Library” for details.

In the Define Library Connection Details dialog box, blank out the Library Engine ID field, and then click Save. This will force STA to update the engine ID to the new value when it reconnects to the library.

3.	Re-establish the SNMP connection with the library. See “Test a Library SNMP Connection” for details.

4.	Note the new SNMP engine ID displayed on the SNMP connections table.

This is the new SNMP engine ID for the library, and you will use it in “Update SNMP Settings on the Library”, Step 4.

▼	Update SNMP Settings on the Library

Note – Perform this procedure only if you are using SNMP v3 for SNMP communications between STA and the upgraded library. Skip this procedure if you are using SNMP v2c.

Note – The examples in this procedure are for an SL8500 library. Command syntax is similar for SL500 and SL3000 libraries. See “Configuring the Libraries for STA” in the STA Configuration Guide for complete details about the referenced commands.

1.	On the upgraded library, log in to the library CLI.

2.	Display all SNMP trap recipients.

snmp listTrapRecipients

Example Command:

SL8500> snmp listTrapRecipients

  requestId
  requestId    1
  Attributes  Auth       SHA
        AuthPass   *****
        Engine Id  0x81031f88804b7e542f49811753
        Host       10.80.123.92
        Index      1
        Name       STAuser
        Port       162
        Priv       DES
        Priv Pass  *****
          Trap Level 1,2,3,4,11,21,25,27,41,45,61,63,65,81,85,100
        Version    v3
   Object      Snmp       snmp
   Done
   Failure Count 0
   Success Count 1
COMPLETED

3.	Verify the SNMP Version level displayed for the STA server.

If it is “v3”, continue to Step 4; if it is “v2c”, you do not need to make any further changes, and you can quit this procedure.

4.	Compare the engine ID displayed here with the one from the SNMP connections table in “Update SNMP Settings in the STA Application”, Step 4.

•	If they match, you do not need to make any further changes, and you can quit this procedure.

•	If they do not match, continue to Step 5.

5.	Record the Index number of the STA trap recipient.

You will use this in Step 6.

6.	Delete the STA trap recipient.

snmp deleteTrapRecipient id index

Where:

•	`index` is the index number of the STA server trap recipient.

Example Command:

SL8500> snmp deleteTrapRecipient id 1

   requestId    1
   requestId    2
   Device       1,0,0,0,1
   Success      true
   Done
   Failure Count 0
   Success Count 1
COMPLETED

7.	Re-add the STA trap recipient, specifying the new library engine ID.

snmp addTrapRecipient trapLevel 1,2,3,4,11,21,25,27,41,45, 61,63,65,81,85,100 host STA_server_IP version v3 name recipient_name auth SHA authPass auth_password priv DES privPass priv_password engineId library_engineID

Where:

•	`STA_server_IP` is the IP address of the STA server.

•	`recipient_name` is the SNMP user name for the STA server.

•	`auth_password` is the authorization password.

•	`priv_password` is the privacy password.

•	`library_engineID` is the new library engine ID.

Note – You must include the 0x prefix.

Example Command:

SL8500> snmp addTrapRecipient trapLevel 1,2,3,4,11,21,25,27,41,45,61,63,65,81,85,100 host 10.80.175.34 version v3 name STAuser auth SHA authPass authpwd1 priv DES privPass privpwd1 engineId 0x80001f880436303030323031303433

   requestId
   requestId 12345
   Device 1,0,0,0,1
   Success true
   Done
   Failure Count 0
   Success Count 1
COMPLETED
