What is the default SNMP protocol configured in iSM
to send alerts in Linux operating systems?
By default, the SNMP multiplexing protocol (SMUX) is configured in iSM to send alerts.
SMUX is not supported on my system. Which protocol
should I configure to send alerts?
If SMUX is not supported on your system, Agent-x is used as a default protocol.
How do I configure iSM to use the Agent-x protocol to
send alerts by default?
You can configure Agent-x as the default protocol using ./Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh 1/agentx –force command. If
–force is not specified, ensure that the net-SNMP is configured and restart the snmpd service.
What are the Linux-dependent packages or
executables I should install while completing the Linux
installation?
To view the list of Linux-dependent packages, see Linux dependencies.
I created a custom folder in Windows Event Viewer,
but the Lifecycle log files are not replicated in my
custom folder. What do I have to do now to replicate
the Lifecycle log files?
Ensure that you close the Windows Event Viewer after creating the custom folder. Open the Windows Event Viewer again to
view the replicated Lifecycle log files.
