The Oracle Solaris SNMP agent (net-SNMP) performs the following functions:
Listens for requests from a third-party system management application to get or set data offered by the Oracle VM Server for SPARC MIB. The agent listens on the standard SNMP port, 161.
Issues traps to the configured system management application by using the standard port for SNMP notifications, 162.
The Oracle VM Server for SPARC MIB is exported by the Oracle Solaris OS default Oracle Solaris SNMP agent on the control domain.
The Oracle Solaris SNMP agent supports the get, set, and trap functions of SNMP versions v1, v2c, and v3. Most Oracle VM Server for SPARC MIB objects are read-only for monitoring purposes. However, to start or stop a domain, you must write a value to the ldomAdminState property of the ldomTable table. See Figure 2, Table 2, Domain Table (ldomTable).
