By the NV agent, do you mean trapgend? I have a summary of how that
install proceeds as follows:
Summary of how trapgend installs
On the remote node
1. create the following
directories
/usr/OV
/usr/OV/bin
/usr/OV/log
/usr/OV/sockets
/usr/OV/pids
/usr/OV/lrf
2. and give them these
permissions
chmod 755 /usr/OV
chmod 755 /usr/OV/bin
chmod 777 /usr/OV/log
chmod 777 /usr/OV/sockets
chmod 755 /usr/OV/pids
chmod 755 /usr/OV/lrf
3. ftp these files in binary
put /usr/OV/bin/nv6000_subagent
put /usr/OV/bin/trap-notify
put /usr/OV/bin/trap-notify.add
put /usr/OV/lrf/trapgend.lrf
put /usr/OV/bin/trapgend
4. do checksum against each binary on the host and then again on
the remote node to verify ftp was good
5. execute
odmadd usr/OV/bin/trap-notify.add
6. chmod 555 /usr/OV/bin/nv6000_subagent
6. edit /etc/snmpd.conf and add this, where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP
address of the NetView box to where the traps should be sent
trap public aa.bb.cc.dd 1.2.3 fe #
loopback
smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.4.1 nv6000 # NetView for AIX: trapgend
7. edit
/etc/snmpd.peers
trapgend 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.4.1 nv6000 # NetView for AIX: trapgend
8. restart snmpd
stopsrc -s snmpd
startsrc -s snmpd
9. edit /etc/rc.tcpip
add
nv6000_subagent trapgend x start
to it
9. Enter
nv6000_subagent trapgend x start
and see if it starts
10. You should see a coldstart trap in the NetView events window
or trapd.log
11. Enter
errupdate
= AA8AB241:
Alert=TRUE
ctrl-d
ctrl-d
12. Enter
errlogger hi
you should see an OPMSG trap in
NetView

Subject: [NV-L] Installing Agent
I have a F50 on the other side of a firewall. They firewall guy has
*graciously* turned on SNMP so I can monitor it and I can read the MIB
values. I have tried to install the NV agent (via smit) and it can't get
through the firewall. Hints? Is there a way to 'hand-carry' an install to
the box?
