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 you can also configure the notification after installation.

Refer to the Cluster Server Administrator'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.

    If you skip this option and if you had installed a valid HA/DR license, the installer presents you with an option to configure this cluster as global cluster. If you did not install an HA/DR license, the installer proceeds to configure VCS based on the configuration details you provided.

  3. Provide information to configure SNMP trap notification.

    Provide the following information:

    • Enter the SNMP trap daemon port.

      Enter the SNMP trap daemon port: [b,q,?] (162)
    • Enter the SNMP console system name.

      Enter the SNMP console system name: [b,q,?] sys5
    • 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 sys5 [I=Information, W=Warning, E=Error,
      S=SevereError]: [b,q,?] 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,q,?] sys4
      Enter the minimum severity of events for which SNMP traps
      should be sent to sys4 [I=Information, W=Warning,
      E=Error, S=SevereError]: [b,q,?] 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: sys5 receives SNMP traps for Error or 
        higher events
        Console: sys4 receives SNMP traps for SevereError or
        higher events
    
        Is this information correct? [y,n,q] (y)
