Required Patches and Known Problems Required Patches and Known Problems Required Software Patches • The following patches are required with HA Monitors and the Event Monitoring Services. You must install these patches before you install HA Monitors. • PHSS_10715 This patch upgrades the SNMP master agent to version 14.x, which is required if you plan to send events using SNMP traps. After you install this patch, you need to set the following in the /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.
Required Patches and Known Problems Name services • What is the problem? EMS may not function if you are running name services that do not use /etc/services, such as NIS, DNS, or X.500. The port number for the EMS registrar is listed in /etc/services. If you are running a different name lookup service, such as NIS, and it is not configured to use /etc/services as part of the name lookup process, then EMS monitors will not be able to find the registrar program and will not function.
