HP Insight Management Agents 9.1 Installation Guide

\SYS:\ETC directory when the SNMP NLM is loaded for proper configuration of the identification
information.
Editing TRAPTARG.CFG
TRAPTARG.CFG is an ASCII text file that lists the addresses of management consoles that should
be alerted when the Server Agents detect an important event. This file provides the SNMP NLM
with information about where to send alarms. Because the TRAPTARG.CFG in \SYS:\ETC is a
sample file, it must be edited to reflect the correct information for your environment. Follow the
instructions provided in the sample TRAPTARG.CFG file to update the file to match your environment
configuration. Be sure to place the alarm destination address under the appropriate protocol section
and to indent each address with at least one space.
Verify that the network address of the management console where Insight Manager runs is included
in TRAPTARG.CFG.
To help you determine the network address of your management console when using IPX, you can
execute the USERLIST program from the management console by entering the following command
at the DOS prompt:
USERLIST /A
For NetWare 4.11, enter the following command:
NLIST USER /A
A list of PCs logged in to the system is displayed along with the address of each. The PC listed
with an asterisk preceding the user name is the PC you are using. The TRAPTARG.CFG file needs
both the network address and the node address provided by USERLIST.
NOTE: If you enter trap destinations into your TRAPTARG.CFG file, you must shut down the
system and restart it for the destinations to be active.
To verify that you have the proper address configured, use CPQAGIN. At the system console prompt,
enter the following command:
LOAD CPQAGIN
Select the Initiate Test Trap option. This option delivers an alarm to each configured management
application.
Setting up SNMP community strings
The final step in installing Management Agents for Servers is to set up SNMP community strings.
SNMP defines a community as the relationship between an SNMP agent and one or more SNMP
managers. When SNMP messages are exchanged, they contain two parts:
• A community name and information to validate that the entity sending SNMP messages is a
member of an identified community
• Data
The community name defines the authentication mechanism.
Management Agents for Servers for NetWare enables two different user communities to be
specified—the monitor community and the control community. The monitor community is designed
to give read-only privileges to all SNMP attributes. The control community provides read-write or
set privileges.
Use CPQAGIN.NLM or INETCFG to configure community strings. To enable Insight Manager to
perform set operations on system parameters on a NetWare system, you must specify a control
community.
NOTE: If you want read-write or set privileges, you must use a control community name other
than “public.”
