Supported Systems Management Protocol Standards

Install a supported systems management protocol on the managed system before installing the management station or managed system

software. On supported Linux operating system, systems management software supports:

• Common Information Model (CIM)

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Install the SNMP package provided with the operating system. If SNMP is installed post Server Administrator installation, restart Server

Administrator services.

NOTE:

For information about installing a supported systems management protocol standard on the managed system,

see the operating system documentation.

The following table shows the availability of the systems management standards for each supported operating system:

Table 2. Availability of Systems Management Protocol by Operating Systems

Operating System SNMP/CIM

Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. Install the SNMP/CIM package provided with the operating

system.

NOTE: Dell EMC recommends installing the SFCB, SFCC, OpenWSMAN, and CMPI packages from the operating system

media, if available.

Configuring SNMP Agents

The systems management software supports the SNMP systems management standard on all supported operating systems. The SNMP

support may or may not be installed depending on the operating system and how the operating system was installed. An installed

supported systems management protocol standard, such as SNMP, is required before installing the systems management software.

Configure the SNMP agent to change the community name, enable set operations, and send traps to a management station. To configure

the SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications, perform the procedures that are described in the Dell EMC

OpenManage Server Administrator User’s Guide.
