SNMP monitoring

The service processor network, Ethernet switches, and Myrinet switch can be
monitored using SNMP. All devices should be configured to send their SNMP traps
to the management server. The management server should be configured to use
trapd so that SNMP traps can be translated to a human readable form and added
to the syslog.
Use the lsnode -Al command to determine the host name for the Remote
Supervisor Adapter card and the service processor name associated with the failing
node. Use the telnet command, SSH command, or a Web browser to connect to the
Remote Supervisor Adapter using the adapters host name, and select options to
configure SNMP.

Configuring SNMP alerts from Myrinet

The Myrinet 2000 network in the Cluster 1350 is installed with adapter cards. One
can use a graphical user interface, Mute, to monitor the entire network for events,
which are logged and reported by the monitoring cards. You can configure an
SNMP client or use a Web browser to access the monitoring card information. You
can configure the monitoring cards to notify you of events by email.
The following Myrinet software packages are required:
v GM software is the base software required to use Myrinet 2000 network. It is the
v m3-dist package, which provides the source for building the SNMP library for the
v Mute (GUI) tool, which monitors the Myrinet network.
Use the following list to build the software:
v GM including the mt tools
message-passing system for Myrinet networks, and includes a driver, Myrinet
interface control program, a network mapping program, the GM API, library, and
header files.
