C Monitoring PRM through SNMP
PRM makes various information available through SNMP. This information can be viewed through
products such as HP OpenView Network Node Manager. Reported data includes:
• Resource usage assigned to and achieved by each PRM group
• Manager states
• Time of last PRM configuration
NOTE: PRM’s SNMP data does not include any information on user records in the PRM
configuration.
PRM’s data is in the SNMP subtree hp.hpSysMgt.hpUXSysMgt.hpPRM.prmReadOnly. This
subtree has the numeric SNMP address .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.5.4.2.1.
Table 34 lists all the components of prmReadOnly.
