Configure the SNMP Management Agent File on SPARC Solaris

1. On the managed server, open the following configuration file in a text editor:

   snmpd.conf

2. Add an entry to specify whether you want to send SNMP v1, v2, or v3 traps. Depending on the version of SNMP you are using, choose one of these possibilities:

   SNMP format Entry v1 trapsink destination_hostname community port v2c trap2sink destination_hostname community port v3c trap3sink destination_hostname community port

   Where destination_hostname specifies the name or IP address of the destination server receiving the SNMP traps from the Oracle Server Management Agents.

3. (Optional, but recommended) – Uncomment the following line in the final section of the file by removing the #:

   ####################################################
   # SECTION: Trap compatibility mode
   . . .
   SUNW_alwaysIncludeEntPhysName   yes

   Enabling this mode for the Oracle Server Management Agents adds more detailed sensor and device names to traps and eliminates the need for generic messages for some sensors such as A device has been disabled.

   Note -  This step is not applicable if you are using Oracle SNMP Management Agent version 1.6 or higher

   ---

4. Save the modified snmpd.conf file.
5. For these changes to take effect, you must force the Oracle Server Management Agents to re-read the configuration file.

   Your managed SPARC Solaris servers are now ready to forward traps to IBM Netcool/OMNIbus.
