203.0. "Other Types of SNMP Traps ?" by VMSNET::J_MAJEWSKI () Mon Feb 03 1997 19:37

Quick question:

	Are the only types of SNMP traps that can be 
	forwarded to a NMS (i.e. HP OpenView), 
	SNMP linkDown and linkUp?

Thank you,
Jennifer

203.1Yes Traps can appear on other objects; but!PCBUOA::BRACKENMon Feb 03 1997 20:2211
    No, whatever the agent is capable of sending. The Server Works Agent
    can be setup to trap on such items as:
        1. ECC Memory error.
        2. Fan Failure.
        3. Voltage out of range.
        4. Temperature out of range.
    The capabilities of the H/W platform and the currently existing agent 
    must be known as well as the procedure for setting up the the object to
    be monitored by the agent for a trap condition. The Server Works Alarm
    tool performs this function in a user friendly manner. This application
    should be integrated into HP Openview to allow for ease of trap setup.
203.2Let me rephrase the question.VMSNET::J_MAJEWSKITue Feb 04 1997 14:5019
My customer wants to forward trap information to his 
HP OpenView manager from ServerWORKS.

He initially asked me how to do this.  I found the 
information in the on-line help for the SNMP Event/
Logger entitled:

"Send SNMP Traps to Top-Level Management Station"

This article only mentions sending SNMP linkDown or
linkUp traps, no others.

If it can send other trap information, which others
and what are the steps to do so?  Is there other
documentation that we are missing?

Thank you for answering so promptly.

203.3SAT from HP OpenViewPCBUOA::BRACKENTue Feb 04 1997 17:429
    As of Server Works Version 2.2 you can launch the Server Works Browser
    from HP OpenView. The Browser in turn can launch the Server Works Alarm
    Tool from the Tools Menu and as long as you stick to the set of alarms
    that correspond with those mentioned in my note above you should be
    able to get traps. The other point is that HP OpenView expects the udp
    service to be on another port for traps. This you'll have to modify in
    the services configuration on the agent side.

what if OpenView is on another physical system?
