Database Server SNMP Validation

Use dbmcli to validate the SNMP configuration for database servers.

• For a system with Oracle Exadata System Software release 12.1.2.x or later, run the following command on each database server:

  # dbmcli -e alter dbserver validate snmp type=asr

  With Oracle Exadata System Software release 12.2.1.1.0, when dbmcli validates the SNMP trap configurations, it also validates whether an snmpSubscriber supports automatic diagnostic package uploads or not. A new message is displayed when the previous command is run if an snmpSubscriber is not accessible or doesn't support automatic diagnostic package uploads. The message is similar to the following:

  ASR Manager(s) on Host01 are not accessible or do not support automatic diagnostic package upload. 
  Diagnostic packages will not be automatically uploaded for Service Requests.
  DBServer db01 successfully altered

• For a system with Oracle Exadata System Software that is earlier than 12.1.2.x:

  • To validate your node configuration using the dcli utility, run the following command on a database server:

    # dcli -g dbs_group -l root "/opt/oracle.cellos/compmon/exadata_mon_hw_asr.pl 
    -validate_snmp_subscriber -type asr"

  • To validate your database server configuration when the dcli utility is not available, run the following command on each database server:

    # /opt/oracle.cellos/compmon/exadata_mon_hw_asr.pl -validate_snmp_subscriber -type asr
