Resource for Sun SNMP - The Sun SNMP Management Agent enables access to system inventory and monitoring, and it provides support for alarms using the industry-standard management Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The agent supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 to enable interoperability with all common management applications. The provision of SNMPv3 enables management accesses to be fully authenticated and secured.
Hi, I have some question regarding the Sun Management Center. Appreciate it if someone can answer:
Conceptual:
- Does the agent store any data on its side, or the entire data is transported to the management server?
- In order to graph a data property, history logging, for that data... (2 Replies)
Hi all
I'm trying to install Sun Management Center 4.0 on a fresh installation of Solaris 10 on a Sun 280R server. The installation keeps failing (during the setup process). Below is an extract of the log file (where things start to go wrong):

snmpdx - Sun Solstice Enterprise Master Agent
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx [-hy] [-a filename] [-c config-dir]
[-d debug-level] [-i filename] [-m GROUP -m SPLIT]
[-o filename] [-p port] [-r filename]
DESCRIPTION
The Master Agent, snmpdx, is the main component of Solstice Enterprise Agent (SEA) technology. It runs as a daemon process and listens to
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 161 for SNMP requests. The Master Agent also opens another port to receive SNMP trap notifications from
various subagents. These traps are forwarded to various managers, as determined by the configuration file.
Upon invocation, snmpdx reads its various configuration files and takes appropriate actions by activating subagents, determining the sub-
tree Object Identifier (OID) for various subagents, populating its own Management Information Bases (MIBs), and so forth. The Master Agent
invokes subagents, registers subagents, sends requests to subagents, receives responses from subagents, and traps notifications from sub-
agents.
The Master Agent is invoked by the service management facility smf(5) at boot time if svc:/application/management/snmpdx is enabled (see
NOTES) and contents of the resource configuration file /etc/snmp/conf/snmpdx.rsrc are non-trivial.
Note -
The SMA (Systems Management Agent) is the default SNMP agent in the Solaris operating system. See netsnmp(5). snmpdx is Obsolete and may
not be supported in a future release of Solaris.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-afilename Specify the full path of the access control file used by the Master Agent. The default access control file is
/etc/snmp/conf/snmpdx.acl.
-cconfig-dir Specify the full path of the directory containing the Master Agent configuration files. The default directory is
/etc/snmp/conf.
-ddebug-level Debug. Levels from 0 to 4 are supported, giving various levels of debug information. The default is 0 which means no
debug information is given.
-h Help. Print the command line usage.
-ifilename Specify the full path of the enterprise-name OID map. This file contains the PID used by the Master Agent for recov-
ery after a crash. It contains tuples of the UNIX process ID, port number, resource name, and agent name. The
default file is /var/snmp/snmpdx.st.
-m GROUP | -m SPLIT Specify the mode to use for forwarding of SNMP requests.
GROUP Multiple variables can be included in each request from the Master Agent to the subagents. This results in,
at mose, one send-request per agent.
SPLIT Each variable in the incoming request results in one send-request to each subagent.
The default is GROUP.
-ofilename Specify the full path of the file containing the tuple (enterprise-name, OID). For example, (Sun Microsystems,
1.3.1.6.1.4.32). The Master Agent uses this file as a base for look-up in the trap-filtering and forwarding process.
The default file is /etc/snmp/conf/enterprises.oid.
-pport Specify the port number. The default port number is 161.
-rfilename Specify the full path of the resource file to be used by the Master Agent. This file stores information about the
subagents that the Master Agent invokes and manages. The default resource file is /etc/snmp/conf/snmpdx.rsrc.
-y Set a recovery indicator to invoke the recovery module. The recovery process discovers which subagents in the previ-
ous session are still active; those subagents not active are re-spawned by the Master Agent.

The snmpdx service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/application/management/snmpdx
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
