Installing and Configuring the Oracle VM Server for SPARC MIB Software

This chapter covers the installation and configuration of the Oracle VM Server for SPARC MIB software. For information about administering SNMP, see the snmpd.conf(5) man page on the open source community web site http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/.

After you install and configure the Oracle VM Server for SPARC MIB software, you must create Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3 (v3) users to provide secure access to the Oracle Solaris SNMP agent. For SNMP version 1 (v1) and version 2 (v2c), the access control mechanism is the community string, which defines the relationship between an SNMP server and its clients. This string controls the client access to the server similar to a password controlling a user's access to a system.


Note - Creating snmpv3 users enables you to use the Oracle Solaris SNMP agent in SNMP with the Oracle VM Server for SPARC MIB. This type of user does not interact with or conflict with users that you might have configured by using the rights feature of Oracle Solaris for the Logical Domains Manager. For information about creating this user, see the documentation on the Net-SNMP open source community web site (http://www.net-snmp.org/).
