MIBs Supported by the HP UNIX Subagent

This section describes the MIB objects which are supported by the HP UNIX subagent (hp_unixagt). This MIB resides in the file hp-unix on the HP OpenView network management system.

/sbin/init.d/SnmpHpunix invokes /usr/sbin/hp_unixagt

Jason,

HP-UX SNMP is divided in to two components as SNMP Master agent and sub-agents.

Master agent is the daemon snmpdm and it has two sub-agents (MIB2 and HpUnix).

Master agent implements certain MIB objects and the sub-agents rest of them MIB objects.

You dont have to have it running in the system as long as you are sure the other systems that dont have it running are fine.

# /sbin/init.d/SnmpHpunix stop
# vi /etc/rc.config.d/SnmpHpUnix
SNMP_HPUNIX_START=0
#

This is part of the snmp suite. It's primary function is the agent daemon for network management. If you are not using snmp traps for another piece of sofware like openview, you could turn it off. see /sbin/init.d/SnmpHpunix
