Operations Manager Server. This is called Distributed Event Interception, since the
SNMP traps are intercepted on the managed node and filtered and forwarded to
the Operations Manager Server by the Operations Agent.
The advantages, especially for large enterprise environments with a high number of
Data Protector Cell Managers, are:
• The solution scales better. Additional Data Protector Cell Managers do not put
additional load on the management server because SNMP traps are processed
on the managed node.
• Any automatic action configured as a response to an SNMP trap can be triggered
and run locally on the managed node without involving the management server.
• Since SNMP traps are not sent from the managed node to the management server,
the network load decreases, and the probability that traps are lost is significantly
reduced. Security over public networks is also improved. The messages are sent
by the Operations Manager Agent to the Operations Manager Server using either
HTTPS or DCE.
Check the SNMP Emanate Agent is installed on the Data Protector Cell Manager
node:
# swlist -l product -a description OVSNMPAgent
You should see the following entry:
# OVSNMPAgent B.11.00 HPUX_10.0_SNMP_Agent_Product
OVSNMPAgent.MASTER B.11.00 MASTER
OVSNMPAgent.SUBAGT-HPUNIX B.11.0 SUBAGT-HPUNIX
OVSNMPAgent.SUBAGT-MIB2 B.11.0 SUBAGT-MIB2

The following required and optional software is not installed as part of the Operations
Manager Server installation nor as part of the Data Protector Integration installation.
SNMP service (required)
