[Omer Tal]

Hello,

I have several HP server in my company and im trying to write a script for remotely reboot server with snmp command, when i just try snmpwalk it gives me - No Response from hostname - is there a place where i need to enable snmp? what am i missing? the host is DL380 G6- ILO2.

First you should use SMH to check the SNMP service status and enable, if needed.

Can you please explain what do you mean by snh and how do i enable it if needed?

SMH = system management homepage (port 2301)

I checked in SMH - the only thing there concerning to SNMP is snmp traps - non of this refers to enable snmp agents.

If you're using the iLO for access rather than the host, the iLO doesn't have its own SNMP stack. Perhaps more importantly, SNMP is not a secure protocol and best practice is not to enable SNMP writes over the wire.

The secure way of doing this through iLO would be to use the command line through secure shell (ssh) and to issue a command such as

reset /system1

I will give it a try the xml scripts but i want to understand - is there any place where i could enable snmp so i could do snmpwalk to HP servers?

For getting anything out you need to have snmp agents running on the host. Since snmpv1/v2 are unsafe, consider to go for WBEM/WMI which is using encryption.

How can i install snmp agents on my host?

How about installing the Insight Manager Agent from Proliant support pack?

You did not tell what OS you are using.
