Configuring SNMP Alerts

To add a management console to the list of addresses configured to receive

SNMP alerts:

NOTE:

The Management Information Base (MIB) for the MD Storage Array is

copied to the client directory as part of a Full or Management Station installation

selection. DellMDStorageArray.mib can be compiled on an SNMP Management

Console using the interface provided by the console.

1 Click the Tools tab, then click Set up SNMP Alerts.
2 Enter the Community name.

NOTE:

The community name is an ASCII string that identifies a known set of

management consoles and is set by the network administrator in the

management console. The default community name is public.

3 Enter the Trap destination.

NOTE:

The trap destination is the IP address or the host name of a

management console that runs an SNMP service.

4 Click Add to add the management console to the Configured SNMP

addresses list.

5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have added all management consoles

that should receive SNMP alerts.

6 Click OK.

NOTE:

You must install an SNMP service on every system included in the list of

addresses configured to receive SNMP alerts.

NOTE:

You do not have to install MD Storage Manager on a system in order to

display SNMP alerts. You need only install an appropriate SNMP service and

application (such as the Dell IT Assistant).
