SNMP and Oracle 8.1.6

Greg Robertson — Wed, 07 Nov 2001 02:02:02 GMT

Hi All,

I need some help !!! I am trying to set up SNMP on HP-UX 11.0 for the Oracle Intelligent Agents so that I can send any traps to my HP Open View
Console. Has anyone completed this before or can point me in the right direction for some documentation. I have followed the Oracle SNMP Configuration document but had no luck.

Thanks in advance for any help......

Wow, Oracle and "intelligent Agents", sounds like a good oxymoron joke. What kind of issues are you running into? Are you getting any errors, or does it just not work?

What level of patches on HPux do you have? At Sept 2001???

Is this server in a DMZ or on the internet? If so, you could potentially have some serious security risks.

When i run the start_peer -a script the following is displayed.

# ./start_peer -a
start_peer: /usr/sbin/snmpd is already running (pid 1200).
start_peer: ./ora_naaagt is already running (pid 4351).
Starting master_peer ...
./master_peer CONFIG.master NOV >master_peer.out 2>&1 &
Done!

On looking in the master_peer.out

Opening peer master snmp port : 161
snmp bind failure: Address already in use
./master_peer: error processing configuration

The System is in our internal network.

Regards

Do a ps -ef and find out what pid 1200 and 4351 are. it thinks its running.

You might have to shutdown the processes and restart.

I stoped the snmpd and ora_naaagt processes and re-ran the start_peer -a. No errors detected except in master.out

# ./start_peer -a
Starting /usr/sbin/snmpd ...
Done!

Starting ./ora_naaagt (/usr/sbin/naaagt) ....
Done!

Starting master_peer ...
./master_peer CONFIG.master NOV >master_peer.out 2>&1 &
Done!

Master.out
Opening peer master snmp port : 161
snmp bind failure: Address already in use
./master_peer: error processing configuration

greg,

if you already have lsof, then great, use it to find what has port 161 open, btw that port is usually some system port (ie a port < 1024).

You might try rebooting (I know it's ugly), but you have some low port numbers it trying to mess with.

Thanks for your help...

I have resolved the problem. There is a bug in the start_peer script in 8.1.6.0 for HP-UX , and the problem was resolved in 8.1.6.2
