Snmp Service - Sun Microsystems Sun SPARC Enterprise M3000 Administration Manual

If the domain and the Service Processor are using the same time source, one benefit
is that events logged in the Solaris OS and on the Service Processor can be correlated
based on their timestamp. If the domain and Service Processor use different NTP
servers, their times may drift, and correlating log files could become difficult. If you
connect a domain to an NTP server other than the one used by the Service Processor,
be sure both are high-rank NTP servers that provide the same degree of accuracy.
The XSCF can be used as NTP server only for domains on the same platform.
Every NTP server and every NTP client must have an ntp.conf file, in
/etc/inet/ntp.conf. The Service Processor has a default ntp.conf file. If you
are using NTP, you must create an ntp.conf file on each domain.
If you are using the Service Processor as the NTP server for the domains, create an
ntp.conf file on each domain similar to the following:
CODE EXAMPLE 3-3
server ip_address
slewalways yes
disable pll
enable auth monitor
driftfile /var/ntp/ntp.drift
statsdir /var/ntp/ntpstats/
filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable
filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable
where ip_address is the IP address you configured for the Service Processor on the
DSCP network. To display the Service Processor's IP address, use the showdscp -s
command.
If you are using an external NTP server for the domains, see the xntpd(1M) man
page or to the Solaris OS documentation collection for information on creating the
ntp.conf file for each domain.

SNMP Service

A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent can be configured and
enabled on the Service Processor. The Service Processor SNMP agent monitors the
state of the system hardware and domains, and exports the following information to
an SNMP manager:
System information such as chassis ID, platform type, total number of CPUs, and
■
total memory
Configuration of the hardware
