One of the support options you can configure for your storage unit
involves the notification of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) alert
traps. SNMP notifications are alerts and notifications of thresholds that
have been exceeded and exception events that have occurred. This task shows
you how to set up your storage unit to receive these notifications as they
occur.
You need to know your SNMP port and IP address as these are required
when activating the notifications feature. This information specifies where
a message is sent in the event of a problem.
To use the setsnmp command to activate the SNMP alert notification
support option feature, perform the following steps:
- Log in to the DS CLI application in interactive command mode, if
you are not already logged in.
- Specify where a message is sent in the event of a problem
by issuing the setsnmp command at the dscli command prompt as follows:
dscli>setsnmp –server 9.11.242.12:161 IBM.1750-68FA120
- Press Enter and a successful process displays the following message:
Date/Time: Sun Aug 11 02:23:49 PST 2004 DS CLI Version: 5.0.0.0
DS: IBM.1750-68FA120
