See Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems System Operation and Administration Guide for

Timezone for the REMCS agent function
The REMCS agent uses the timezone currently set for the system. For this reason,
when you change the system timezone with XSCF, set the periodical connection
schedule again to update the information of REMCS center.

Notes on SNMP

When using the SNMPv3 agent, after setting up the authentication protocol and
■
the encryption protocol using the setsnmp(8) command, be sure to set up
User-based Security Model (USM) management information using the setsnmpus
m(8) command and View-based Access Control Model (VACM) management
information using the setsnmpvacm(8) command. Specification of the authentication
protocol and the encryption protocol is required in the SNMPv3 agent setup
process. Moreover, the password, set up when executing the setsnmp(8) and
setsnmpusm(8) commands, will also be necessary.
If a server, on which the SNMP manager is not running, is registered as the inform
■
trap host of SNMPv3, execution of setsnmp(8), setsnmpusm(8) or setsnmpvacm(8)
commands may output the "Agent restart failed" message. This message is output
when there is an abnormality in the restarting of the SNMP agent, but as the
SNMP agent works properly even if this messages is output, it has no effect on the
system. Register the trap host after the SNMP manager had been started.
If the setsnmp(8) command is executed with the "addtraphost" or the "addv3traphost"
■
operands and a trap host is registered with the host name consisting of 16 or more
characters, the UDP address of the trap that is reported to the trap host, becomes
the IP address that is assigned to the XSCF-LAN (physical IP address), instead of
the takeover IP address (virtual IP address). This symptom occurs when a
takeover IP address is set up.
If the host name of the trap host consists more than 16 characters, register the trap
host with its IP address, not its host name.
[Workaround]
If a host name with more than 16 characters has already been registered, execute
the setsnmp(8) command with either the "remtraphost" or the "remv3traphost"
operands to remove the trap host and register the trap host again with the IP
address.
When the trap host is registered with the setsnmp(8) command, the following
■
message may be output.
iptables v1.4.7: host/network 'example.com' not found
Try 'iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
This message indicates that the name resolution has not been executed for the host
name of the registered host.
