High Availability Monitors Release Notes

8 Enterprise Server documentation, particularly Oracle 8 Installation Guide, Oracle SNMP
Support Reference, and Oracle Net8 Administrator’s Guide.
• For Informix:
— Informix SNMP subagent
The Informix SNMP subagent, onsnmp, can be started by issuing the following
command:
$INFORMIXDIR/bin/onsrvapd -k0 -rall
This command causes the SNMP subagent to remain in UP state even though the
Informix database may be stopped and restarted. The subagent must be active in order
to be able to access the values in the rdbms public MIB, on which the HA Database
Monitor reports.
