You're probably running into license issues (maybe a IBM/Tivoli person
can respond).

I went to the CMU-snmptrap facility for non-NetView systems.

Subject: running snmptrap command from server other than NV server


Hello,

I am having problems running the /usr/OV/bin/snmptrap command from a server
other than my NetView server.  I'll call the non-NV server serverX.  I
copied the snmptrap command to /usr/OV/bin on serverX.  When attempting to
run it, the error message I received was," Could not load program snmptrap.
Could not load library libov.a[libov.osh].  Error was: no such file or
directory."

I then copied all the /usr/OV/lib files from the NV server to serverX and
put the OV directories in my path (OV_BIN, OV_LIB, OV_CONF.)  I also copied
the trapd.conf file to serverX.  I still get the same message.  There is a
libov.a file in serverX's /usr/OV/lib directory.  I even copied the snmptrap
command to the /usr/OV/lib directory and tried running it from there.  Still
no success.

ServerX is running AIX 4.2.1, Framework 3.6 and Distributed Monitoring 3.6 -
it's a managed node.  My NV server is version 5.1.  I am not using TEC (it's
just too expensive) and want to send my DM events to the NV Events window
using snmptrap commands in shell scripts.  Currently I can only run the
snmptrap command from my NV server.  If I need to perform corrective
actions, such as restarting a daemon on serverX, I need to use 3 different
scripts: one script running on the NV server to send the daemon down event ,
one script running on serverX to restart the daemon and another one running
on the NV server to send the daemon up event - if the daemon was brought up
successfully.  Plus I need to time the execution of the scripts just right.
It would greatly simplify things if I could run one script from serverX that
performed all 3 actions.

Any knowledge or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
