SNMP Reference Guide

736 Storage Management Alert Reference
The Windows SNMP service must be configured to forward the SNMP traps to
the target system or application. When forwarding to an application, the
application should also be configured to receive the SNMP traps. The IT
Assistant application is already configured to receive the SNMP traps
generated by Storage Management.
See your Windows operating system documentation for information on
configuring the operating system to forward SNMP traps. This information
may be located under such topics as “setting up SNMP” or “SNMP traps.”
When configuring SNMP for Windows, be sure that the SNMP traps are
forwarded to the correct server. For information on configuring an application
to receive SNMP traps, see the documentation for that application.
SNMP Trap Definitions
The Storage Management management information base (MIB) defines the
SNMP traps that Storage Management generates. These traps correspond to
the alerts documented in the "Alert Descriptions and Corrective Actions" on
page 737 section. The MIB is located in ..\sm\mibs\dcstorag.mib, a
subdirectory of the Storage Management installation directory.
NOTE: Storage Management supports trap forwarding on both 32-bit and 64-bit
operating systems.
SNMP Trap Variables
The Storage Management SNMP traps use a set of variables that are included
with every trap. These variables are the following:
• messageIDEvent
• descriptionEvent
• locationEvent
• objectNameEvent
• objectOIDEvent
• objectNexusEvent
• currentStatusEvent
• previousStatusEvent
