Configuring Snmp; Network Management Systems And Mibs; Saving The Configuration - HP StoreOnce 2700 Installation And Configuration Manual

Configuring SNMP

NOTE: StoreOnce software version 3.13.x and later allows the user to configure SNMP from
the StoreOnce GUI. Refer to the StoreOnce Backup system user guide for further details.
This feature enables an HP StoreOnce Backup system 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). You can also use the StoreOnce CLI to enable this feature
and configure various settings, as described below.
The StoreOnce implementation of SNMP is compatible with and has been tested with HP System
Insight Manager (HP-SIM). It supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv3, which provides authentication.
1. Open the puTTy (or other ssh) application and log into the StoreOnce CLI as an Admin user.
2. Enter the following command to enable SNMP.
snmp enable
3. The following example is a basic example to capture alerts that are broadcast to the public
community. See the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide for more detailed information.
snmp add trapsink mysimserver.mycompany.local trap-community public
events alert

Network Management systems and MIBs

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. These
must be downloaded and registered with the Network Management application on the host, so
that information from the StoreOnce Backup system can be transmitted to and interpreted by the
Network Management host.
To download the MIBs, go to the HP Support website at
for your StoreOnce Backup product. Select the Software and driver downloads option and OS
Independent for the operating system. The MIBs are included under the OS Independent Downloads.
There are typically three stages to setting up the Network Management application for use with
the HP StoreOnce Backup system:
1. Register SEMI-MIB.mib and TRAP-DESTINATION-MIB within the base of MIBs supported by
the Network Management application.
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 the Network Management application.
NOTE: For further information about implementing these three stages, refer to the MIB release
notes and to the documentation supplied with the Network Management application.

Saving the configuration

NOTE: It is strongly recommended to save the configuration whenever you make changes to it.
1. Open the puTTy (or other ssh) application and login to the StoreOnce CLI as an Admin user.
Save the configuration using the StoreOnce CLI command:
config save devices
2. Using sftp protocol and an application, such as filezilla, copy the following files from
/config to your local machine.
devconfig_<cluster ID and serial number><date and time>.zip
devconfig_<cluster ID and serial number><date and time>.txt
