Update SNMP After a Library Firmware Upgrade (SL500, SL3000, SL8500)

Update the library and STA SNMP configurations after upgrading to one of the following library firmware versions or higher. Starting with these firmware versions, the library engine ID uses a new 32‐bit value and therefore you must update the SNMP configuration to use the new ID.

  • SL500 – FRS 1468
  • SL3000 – FRS 4.0
  • SL8500 – FRS 8.0

Update the SNMP Settings in STA

  1. Log in to the STA user interface.
  2. Edit the library connection details for the upgraded library. See Configure the SNMP Connection to a Library.

    In the Define Library Connection Details dialog box, clear the Library Engine ID field and click Save. This forces STA to update the engine ID to the new value when it reconnects to the library.

  3. Re-establish the SNMP connection with the library. See Test the Library Connection.
  4. Record the new SNMP engine ID displayed on the SNMP connections table. You will use this value in the next part of the procedure.

Verify SNMP Settings on the Library

  1. Log in to the CLI on the upgraded library.
  2. Display All SNMP Trap Recipients.
  3. Verify the SNMP Version level for the STA server, and proceed as follows:
    • If it is v2c, you can quit this procedure.
    • If it is v3, continue to the next step.
  4. Compare the displayed engine ID with the one you noted in the first part of this procedure:
    • If they match, you can quit this procedure.
    • If they do not match, continue to the next step.
  5. Record the Index number of the STA trap recipient.
  6. Delete the STA trap recipient. See Delete or Modify the STA Trap Recipient.
  7. Re-add the STA SNMP v3 trap recipient using the new library engine ID. See Create the STA SNMP v3 Trap Recipient.
