Install SNMP Agents for Citrix XenServer
Your Citrix monitored devices must be configured to communicate with the Hosting Device. Monitored
devices that use SNMP notifications must include the following:
l All monitored devices must have a working intranet connection, such as through an Ethernet adapter,
with TCP/IP installed and running. Monitored devices must have two-way communication with the
Hosting Device over this connection.
l Monitored devices need the SNMP Agent software for problem detection and trap generation. HP
distributes the SNMP Agents and they are designed to generate SNMP traps with information that
allows for a more complete analysis.
l Finally, all monitored devices need to have the Hosting Device IP address defined as a trap
destination.
The HP SNMP Agents for Citrix XenServer is a system-specific software bundle that includes drivers,
utilities, and management agents for your Citrix ProLiant. HP SNMP Agents for Citrix XenServer are
