C-3 SNMP Installation
Perform the following steps to install the Areca RAID control-
ler SNMP function into the SNMP manager. The installation of the
SNMP manager is accomplished in several phases:
Step 1. Installing the SNMP manager software on the client
Installing the SNMP manager software on the client. This instal-
lation process is well-covered in the User’s Guide of your SNMP
manager application.
Step 2. Compiling the MIB description file with the manage-
ment
Placing a copy of the RAID controller’s MIBs file in a directory which
is accessible to the management application and compile the MIB
description file with the SNMP management application database.
Before the manager application accesses the Areca RAID controller,
it is necessary to integrate the MIB into the management applica-
tion’s database of events and status indicator codes. This process
is known as “compiling” the MIB into the application. This process
is highly vendor-specific and should be well-covered in the User’s
Guide of your SNMP manager application. Ensure the compilation
process successfully integrates the contents of the areca_SATA.mib
file into the traps database. The MIBs file resides at: <CD-ROM>\
packages\SNMP_MIBs on the software CD or download from http://
www.areca.com.tw.
