configuring snmpd for hp-unix 11.23 on ia64

[soma_3]

My company is started using windows scom monitoring system and one of the requiremnts is to configure snmp on port 161-162 on the hp 11.23 server ia64.So that this server is monitored as a client for the scom.

After enabled the parameters on SnmpHpunix,SnmpMaster, SnmpMib2,SnmpTrpDst
I also edited the /etc/snmp.conf file as fllowing :-
get-community-name: public
set-community-name:public
contact:Soma
location:First floor iT room
max-trap-dest:150
trap-dest:192.168.3.102
trap-dest:192.168.3.104

I stoped the snmpd services and restarted according to the form advices and the man pages and checked the /var/adm/snmpd.log file but found the following error.

snmpd_open failure: -2
at line 863 in file ../master.c

Also when i try to get what snmpd process running on the system I find the following:-
root 1406 1 0 Nov 5 ? 0:10 /usr/lbin/cmsnmpd
root 3001 1 0 Nov 5 ? 0:24 /opt/iexpress/net-snmp/sbin/snmpd

the first i know it is for the cluster but what the scond is for ?

If any one has configured a hpunix client for the scom manager please guide me through.Also how to make the snmpd start on 161&162 ports?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Hello,

The second one is a gnu implementation for SNMP that implements HOST-MIB-RESOURCES.

As far as I know, HP SNMP agent cannot coexist with another SNMP agent, I guess you should try to remove net-snmp (if it isn't there for a particular purpose, you can also try to stop that one and just start HP SNMP.

Hope that helps.

hi soma;

-it is so clear that second one is net-snmp'd daemon.Snmp agent.
-And snmp already use 161 port.you can see it by checking /etc/services file.
-Finally i write a script for you.you can use it to change community names.
Put following lines in a file and make chmod +x that file.

cp /etc/snmpd.conf /etc/snmpd.conf.orig
cp /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf.orig
vi /etc/snmpd.conf
vi /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf
cd /sbin/rc2.d
./S560SnmpMaster stop
./S565SnmpHpunix stop
./S565SnmpMib2 stop
./S560SnmpMaster start
sleep 5
./S565SnmpHpunix start
./S565SnmpMib2 start

Thanks luis and Mustafa.

Mustafa I have executed the your but before that i killed the other process.

I still have some errors in the log as following :-

More over to that snmp is not listening on 161.Let me clear this here
1- ps -ef | grep snm
root 1406 1 0 Nov 5 ? 0:11 /usr/lbin/cmsnmpd
root 10004 1 0 06:29:21 ? 0:03 /usr/sbin/snmpdm
root 15764 27688 0 08:24:25 pts/ta 0:00 grep snm

using lsof :
lsof -p 10004 | grep UDP
snmpdm 10004 root 6u IPv4 0xe00000018aea3c80 0t0 UDP *:snmp (Idle)
snmpdm 10004 root 7u IPv4 0xe000000182670200 0t0 UDP *:59234 (Idle)

This shows its idle

again using netstat -a | grep snm
udp 0 0 *.snmp *.*

Now my question is why the process is not listening on the 161 port?and what those errors in the log mean?

I appreciate your response.
