Enable the allow_snmp_sets Parameter
If you plan to use the
Config Utility to configure and manage the RAC, you must
enable the
allow_snmp_sets parameter. To enable this parameter:
1. At the ROM monitor prompt, enter allow_snmp_sets.
2. Enter Y when you are asked if you want to enable this parameter.
3. Save the changes you made to the RAC:
a. For the 5399 RAC, exit the ROM monitor by pressing Ctrl T. This
returns you to the System 5000 Slot Selection Menu.
b. Enter s to select the supervisory Module main menu.
c. Enter m to select the Module Information Menu.
d. At the Enter slot # (1-14): prompt enter the slot number and press
Return. Then enter
d to set all the changes you made as the default.
Task 5: Boot the RAC
Issue the boot command to boot the RAC. After the RAC boots, choose which
tool you want to use to complete the remaining configuration tasks. The remaining
tasks in this book use
admin commands from the console monitor, but you can
also use the
na utility or the Config Utility.
Note: If you do not plan to use the Config Utility, go to Step 3.
Note: If you are using net boot and want to save the image on the RAC issue
the
boot -l command.
