Modify the following parameters as necessary:
SNMP Alert Level—The level of SNMP alerts reported to SNMP
management stations. Select an alert level from the drop-down list. You
can also turn off SNMP reporting from this list.
None—Suppresses SNMP reporting.
Critical—Warns you about urgent problems that require immediate
action to prevent widespread failure.
Major—Warns you about serious problems that require prompt
action to prevent failure of the object and possibly some related
objects.
Minor—Provides information about problems that can be addressed
as work schedules permit.
Informational—Provides descriptive information that can be used
for such things as trend analysis and planning.
Each level incorporates the information from the levels listed above it.
For example, if you select Minor, you also receive messages about major
and critical alerts.
If you already have an UNIX NIS Server (text-based) and you want the new
NetWare NIS Server to serve the same data served by the old NIS server, you
can copy all those text files into the specified location and then run the
migration utility to create eDirectory entries for a specified domain.
The migration utility creates the Domain object in the default context as well
as two other containers in the same context with the names domainname_U
and domainname_G. During the migration, the utility searches for existing
eDirectory users and groups under the containers specified by the
SEARCH_ROOT configuration parameter (specified in NFS.CFG) and,
based on the migration option specified, modifies the UNIX information of
those objects. If the objects are not found, the users are migrated to
