You can use the SAN Volume Controller Console to
change Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server settings for the cluster.
This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.
SNMP is the standard protocol for managing networks and
exchanging messages. SNMP enables the SAN Volume Controller to
send external messages that notify personnel about an event. You can
use an SNMP manager to view the messages that the SNMP agent sends.
