itpconfig Usage Scenario
The high level steps for enabling SNMP trap forwarding from Oracle ILOM are:
-
Install the Oracle Hardware Management Agent and SNMP Plugins packages.
See
These packages contain all the necessary software for
itpconfig
. -
The Host-to-ILOM Interconnect is required for
itpconfig
to function (and is enabled by default for Oracle Solaris operating system).If the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect is not enabled for your system, you can use
itpconfig
to enable it, see How to Enable Host-to-ILOM Interconnect. -
Enable the ILOM trap proxy.
See How to Enable Trap Forwarding
Note:
itpconfig
uses ILOM Notification Alert Rule 15 to set up the trap forwarding. If this alert rule is in use,itpconfig
fails. See itpconfig Troubleshooting for a work around. -
Start or restart the SNMP service daemon on the server.
Refer to your OS documentation.
-
Ensure that SNMP has been configured in Oracle ILOM so that traps can be generated.
Refer to your Oracle ILOM documentation (https://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs).
-
Start a trap listener on the destination server configured to listen to traps from the port and community described in the
itpconfig
arguments.Any faults generated by the service processor should now generate an SNMP trap which are sent to the destination SNMP trap listener.
