19 SNMP
The HP StoreOnce Backup System has the ability to act as a Network Element in an SNMP network
so that it can communicate effectively with Network Management Stations using SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol). The StoreOnce implementation of SNMP is compatible with HP
System Insight Manager (HP-SIM) and supports SNMP 1, 2 and 3.
SNMP (Configuration)
SNMP is enabled and configured using StoreOnce Management CLI commands. Please refer to
the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI reference guide for syntax and examples.
When the SNMP feature is enabled, it reports the overall system status, via SNMP traps, as reflected
on the StoreOnce Management interface, as follows:
•
OK – System status is good.
•
Warning – Something on the system needs attention, but is not critical.
•
Critical – Something on the system needs immediate attention.
It also reports any software status messages or hardware status messages, as reported in the event
log and email alerts or the StoreOnce Management Console.
HP Systems Insight Manager
The MIBs, Management Information Bases, used to represent the information handled by the HP
StoreOnce Backup system are called SEMI-MIB.mib and TRAP-DESTINATIONS-MIB.mib and are
included on the CD supplied with your product (they can also be downloaded from
). These databases must be compiled and registered with HP Systems Insight
Manager, so that information from the StoreOnce Backup system can be transmitted to and
interpreted by the management host.
There are three stages to setting up HP Systems Insight Manager for use with the HP StoreOnce
Backup system:
1.
Register SEMI-MIB.mib and TRAP-DESTINATION-MIB within the base of MIBs supported by
HP Systems Insight Manager.
2.
Update the existing system type database with the new system type for the HP StoreOnce
Backup system, based on the unique system object identifier.
3.
Discover the HP StoreOnce Backup system under HP Systems Insight Manager
NOTE:
For detailed instructions on working with HP-SIM, refer to the “HP Systems Insight Manager
Technical Reference Guide”.
