Hmmm. I agree that it is a community string problem but the two files that must
match are /etc/snmpd.conf and /etc/snmpd.peers. So far as I know, ovsnmp.conf
plays no role here.
I took a quick look and I see that when trapgend tries to connect it gets a
"simpleOpen" error with a "Bad Identity" message. If memory serves me, that
means that "password" or "community string" which is in /etc/snmpd.peers (which
should be what trapgend uses) does not match what snmpd expects from
/etc/snmpd.conf. As shipped these should look like this:
snmpd.peers
--------------------
trapgend 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.4.1 nv6000 # TME 10 NetView : trapgend
snmpd.conf
_____________
smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.4.1 nv6000 # TME 10 NetView : trapgend
The string "nv6000" is the community string or password which trapgend must pass
when he attempts to connect.
Did your upgrade overwrite your snmpd.conf file perhaps?

Have you checked the community string?
If the community string in /etc/snmpd.conf is different from the one in
/usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf then trapgend will not start.

James,
Would you take a look at this from the snmpd.log. I turned on trace at 3 for
snmpd, refreshed and did an ovstart on trapgend and this is what it logged.
I have since turned off trace and refreshed. I know your busy, if you can
shed any light it would be appreciated. It's in note pad format.

Trapgend? He is a smux peer and I would look in the snmpd.log to
see what is
going on there as well. snmpd is up, isn't it?
But trapgend has nothing to do with communication server. You don't
mean
tralertd daemon, do you? He would most definitely have a comm
server dependency
because Service Point does.

I haven't had a problem with this (trapgend), daemon ever. Only
change I
made to the system was migrate/install of Communications Server
Ver.5.
System is AIX 4.3.2 and Netview 5.1. Rebooted this weekend this
daemon won't
come up. Turned all tracing on only noticeable message in
trapgend.log is
something about youLoseBig.
I opened a pmr, no luck yet. Wondering if anyone had a similar
situation or
suggestions.
Thanks
