This is because the other users do not have access to the EMS database or
log directories.
Workaround: The recommended practice is to install and run the EMS
server using the root user. If this is not possible, you can install EMS as a
non root user but, you will have to recursively change the group
permissions to the EMS directory and its sub dirs to grant write access to
the files and directories.
Running the EMS Server from Root Accounts
On UNIX platforms, run the EMS server from a root user account to
successfully receive SNMP traps. If you do not run the server from a root
account, the JRE does not signal the failure to bind to port 162 thus
leading you to believe that EMS is ready to receive traps when, in fact, it
is not.
Setting User Read-Write Permissions
The user read-write permissions must be set for EMS clients installed on a
workstation using a UNIX platform.
To set the user read-write permissions in a UNIX environment:
1 Change to root.
2 Change to the directory where the EMS client is installed.
3 Enter the following command:
chmod -R 777 <file_or_directory>
Or, you may substitute an explicit list of permissions.
Using Static IP Addresses
On UNIX platforms, run the EMS server on a workstation with a static IP
address. For more information, see
Static IP
Address".
Using the EMS GUI Client Without a Monitor
EMS GUI Clients only run on a workstation that is using X server or that
has its DISPLAY environment variable pointing to a workstation that is
using X server. This is a JRE requirement.
Workaround: If you need to run the EMS GUI Client on a workstation
without a monitor, point the DISPLAY variable (syntax varies according to
your shell) to a workstation running an X Server. Or, use a virtual frame
