Configuring SNMP trap notification

You can choose to configure VCS to send event notifications to SNMP management consoles. You need to provide the SNMP management console name to be notified and message severity levels. Note that it is also possible to configure notification after installation. Refer to the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide for more information.

 To configure the SNMP trap notification

1. Review the required information to configure the SNMP notification feature of VCS.
2. Specify whether you want to configure the SNMP notification. Do one of the following:
   • To configure SNMP notification, press Enter.

     Do you want to configure SNMP notification? [y,n,q] (y)

   • To skip configuring SNMP notification and advance to configuring global clustering option, enter n.

     See Configuring global clusters.

3. Provide information to configure SNMP trap notification.
   • Enter the SNMP trap daemon port.

     Enter the SNMP trap daemon port: [b,?] (162)

   • Enter the SNMP console system name.

     Enter the SNMP console system name: [b,?] saturn

   • Enter the minimum security level of messages to be sent to each console.

     Enter the minimum severity of events for which SNMP traps

     should be sent to saturn [I=Information, W=Warning, E=Error,

     S=SevereError]: [b,?] E

4. Add more SNMP consoles, if necessary.
   • If you want to add another SNMP console, enter y and provide the required information at the prompt.

     Would you like to add another SNMP console? [y,n,q,b] (n) y

     Enter the SNMP console system name: [b,?] jupiter

     Enter the minimum severity of events for which SNMP traps

     should be sent to jupiter [I=Information, W=Warning,

     E=Error, S=SevereError]: [b,?] S

   • If you do not want to add, answer n.

     Would you like to add another SNMP console? [y,n,q,b] (n)

5. Verify and confirm the SNMP notification information.

   SNMP Port: 162

   Console: saturn receives SNMP traps for Error or

   higher events

   Console: jupiter receives SNMP traps for SevereError or

   higher events

   Is this information correct? [y,n,q] (y)
