Deleting SNMP server settings

Use the Deleting SNMP Server Settings panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to remove a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server or multiple servers.

Attributes

The following attributes are displayed:
Server Name
Displays the name of the SNMP server.
IP Address
Displays the IP address for the SNMP server.

Both IPv4 and IPv6 address formats are supported.

Send Error Notifications
Displays whether the SAN Volume Controller cluster sends events with the notification type of error to the SNMP server. When an event notification with the type error is received by the SNMP server, the problem must be fixed immediately. This notification indicates a serious problem with the SAN Volume Controller cluster. For example, the event that is being reported could indicate a loss of redundancy in the system, and it is possible that another failure could result in loss of access to data. A hardware failure is the most typical reason this type of notification is sent, but some configuration errors or fabric errors also are included in this notification type. The following values are possible:
On
Indicates that events with the notification type of error are sent to the specified SNMP server.
Off
Indicates that events with the notification type of error are not sent to the specified SNMP server.
Send Warning Notifications
Displays whether the SAN Volume Controller cluster sends events with the notification type of warning to the SNMP server. A warning notification is sent to indicate a problem or unexpected condition with the SAN Volume Controller. Always immediately investigate this type of notification to determine the effect that it might have on your operation and correct the problem if necessary. A warning notification does not require any replacement parts and therefore should not require IBM® Support Center involvement. However, the event being reported might indicate a condition that could be fatal to your operating environment; such as, a critical FlashCopy® operation has failed. The following values are possible:
On
Indicates that events with the notification type of warning are sent to the specified SNMP server.
Off
Indicates that events with the notification type of warning are not sent to the specified SNMP server.
Send Informational Notifications
Displays whether the SAN Volume Controller cluster sends events with the notification type of informational to the SNMP server. For these types of notifications, no action is necessary to resolve them. This notification indicates an event that was expected has occurred. For example, a FlashCopy mapping event has completed successfully. No remedial action is required when these notification types are sent. The following values are possible:
On
Indicates that events with the notification type of informational are sent to the specified SNMP server.
Off
Indicates that events with the notification type of informational are not sent to the specified SNMP server.
Community
Displays the community name for the SNMP server. An SNMP community is the name of a group that devices and management stations that run SNMP belong to.
Port
Displays the port number for the SNMP server.

Actions
