Baseboard SNMP Subagent Configuration Files
Linux Configuration Files
• snmpd.conf – for the master agent
• snmpsa.conf – for the subagent
After installing the subagent, both configuration files are located at /usr/local/snmpsa/conf on the
system. The snmpd.conf file is a sample configuration file that includes lines necessary to
configure the master agent to properly recognize the subagent. Use these sample configuration files
as an example for editing your system’s configuration files. You can also find this configuration file
on the CD in the \ism\Software\linux\32bit\snmp\baseboard\el3.0\ directory.
Windows Configuration Files
• snmpsa.conf– for the subagent
After installation, the configuration file is located at \Program Files\Intel\ServerManager\SNMP It
is also available on the CD in the \ism\software\windows\32bit\snmp\baseboard\ directory. Note In
Windows, Master Agent configuration is handled through the Properties of the SNMP Service. See
your operating system documentation for details. Use this sample configuration file as an example
for editing your system’s configuration file.
Windows and Linux snmpsa.conf Change to Enable Setting Thresholds
In addition to ensuring that the SNMP community is readable and writable, the following change
must be made to the snmpsa.conf file, located as noted in the “
Linux Configuration Files” and
“
Windows Configuration Files” sections above:
SetsEnabled = 1
After editing the snmpsa.conf file, the master agent and subagent must be restarted on the Windows
and Linux OS. See the section “
Restarting SNMP Agents” on page 18 for more details.
Linux SNMP Command-Line Options
You should use the ‘start’ option the first time the subagent is loaded or right after the server boots.
The SNMP subagent requires that the IPMI driver be started.
• Start the subagent:
/etc/init.d/snmpsa start
• Stop the subagent:
/etc/init.d/snmpsa stop
• Stop and restart the subagent:
/etc/init.d/snmpsa restart
• Starts the subagent without loading the IPMI driver:
/etc/init.d/snmpsa saonly
• Returns the running status of the subagent:
/etc/init.d/snmpsa status
