Disabling SNMP in AIX 7.1

Hi,

I am planning to disable SNMP in our AIX LPARs. wanted to see by disabling in a test LPAR.
before that, I would like to check disabling this SNMP will impact any of our application or database in anyway. what kind of other software depends on these SNMP daemons ?

Can you please let me know the exact use of SNMP in AIX. I understand that SNMP is used to collect information about network connected servers/routes/devices etc. (will it affect NFS file systems ? )
ours is a small shop. we never used SNMP config files to setup anything specially.


Code:
[root@testlpar]/root>which snmpd
/usr/sbin/snmpd
[root@testlpar]/root>ls -ltr /usr/sbin/snmpd
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system            9 Jan 07 2015  /usr/sbin/snmpd -> snmpdv3ne
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system            8 Jan 07 2015  /usr/sbin/clsnmp -> clsnmpne

[root@testlpar]/home/tesusr>cd /etc/snmp
snmpd.boots     snmpd.conf      snmpd.peers     snmpdv3.conf    snmpinterfaces/ snmpmibd.conf

when we installed AIX 71, SNMP v3 non-encrypted version came along with it. please see details below. we never had an opportunity use SNMP agents/server for any purpose.
Code:
Subsystem         Group            PID          Status
 aixmibd          tcpip            3121214      active
 hostmibd         tcpip            3232324      active
 snmpmibd         tcpip            3323232      active
 snmpd            tcpip            3212121      active


Please let me know disabling SNMP related daemons or services will cause any issues. thank you.
