The ESS generates Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps and
supports a read-only management information base (MIB) to allow monitoring by
your network.
Note: SNMP is required for PPRC status reporting for ESS Copy Services for
Open Systems.
Attention: If you plan to connect your network to the ESSNet, IBM
recommends that you defer having IBM configure SNMP during initial
installation and configuration. You can configure SNMP by using ESS Specialist
after you connect your network to the ESSNet.
a. Allow MIB access
The ESS provides access to a management information base (MIB). To
allow read access to this information, check Read Only. To disallow or deny
read access to this information, check None.
b. Allow generic traps
The ESS can generate generic SNMP traps. To allow the ESS to send these
traps, check Yes; to not allow it to send these traps, check No.
c. Allow product-specific traps
The ESS can generate product-specific SNMP traps. To allow it to send
these traps, check Yes. To not allow it to send these traps, check No.
d. Maximum trap notifications per problem
Enter the total number of trap notifications you want sent for each trap
condition. To ensure that traps are not lost, you may want to send each trap
notification more than once.
e. SNMP community name
Enter the SNMP community name (up to 31 characters) to use for
authenticating requests. If you do not enter a name, this entry defaults to
public access.
f. SNMP SysContact
This is an optional entry. If you like, enter the name of the person
responsible for your machine who your service provider should contact.
g. SNMP SysLocation
This is an optional entry. If you like, enter the location of the machine.
h. Add SNMP trap destinations
Enter host names or dotted decimal addresses of the destinations that are
to receive SNMP traps. For example: host.com, or 9.113.152.254.
9. Customer pager information
This information is optional. The ESS can send problem record information to
your pager through the call-home modem. Enter the following information:
a. Pager user name
Enter your pager user name in alphanumeric characters. This must be a
unique name.
b. Modem telephone number
Enter the modem telephone number of the pager company. The pager must
use TAP/IPO protocol. If the pager company recommends a slow speed or
non-error correcting protocol, add an uppercase "z" (Z) to the end of the
telephone number.
