Hello James,

 

i had verify and snmpd.conf and xnmsnmpconf and identical for both server.

 

however,

 

when i try snmpget command on both server i get 2 differents response :

 

 

1- production server :

 

sisauda@sxptiv0009:/saq/home/users/sisauda$ snmpget -c private 127.0.0.1 system.sysDescr.0 system.sysUpTime.0

system.sysDescr.0 : DISPLAY STRING- (ascii):  IBM PowerPC CHRP Computer
Machine Type: 0x0800004c Processor id: 0003563F4C00
Base Operating System Runtime AIX version: 05.02.0000.0030

system.sysUpTime.0 : Timeticks: (518086489) 59 days, 23:07:44.89

 

2- pre-production server :

 

root@aixtivlab1:/usr/OV/bin$ snmpget -c private 127.0.0.1 system.sysDescr.0 system.sysUpTime.0
snmpget: No response arrived before timeout.

Issue 
xnmsnmpconf and verify that either the global default community name is the same 
as the read community name in /etc/snmpd.conf or that there is a specific entry 
for the NetView box itself which has the correct community name 
specified. 

Then issue 
(1) stopsrc -s snmpd   
(2) ps -ef | grep snmpd  (to verify that 
it is down) 
(3) startsrc -s snmpd 
  
(4) ps -ef | grep snmpd (to 
verify that it is up) 
(5) ovstart 
netmon

netmon needs to be 
configured with the appropriate SNMP community name to be able to talk to the 
snmpd agent that resides on the same box as itself. 

The global default community name 
within NetView's SNMP Configuration panel and the loopback community name in 
snmpd.conf need to be the same. 
OR 
If not 
the global default, then you need to have an entry (such as a specific entry) in 
NetView's SNMP Configuration for the NetView host box  where its community 
name matches the community name in the snmpd.conf file.

to my pre-production netview server when i ovstart my pre-       
production server i got this

Cannot communicate with SNMP Agent 
via loopback address (127.0.0.1); it is
either not running or has been 
configured with a community name different
from that configured into Tivoli 
NetView for this system. If a community
name has
been configured into the 
SNMP Agent, that community name must be configured
via xnmsnmpconf and 
/usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf for address 127.0.0.1 as well
as for the hostname or 
IP address of this system.
Or, the /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib and 
/usr/OV/conf/snmpmib.bin files are
corrupted
and need to be rebuilt using 
the
Maintain->Rebuild MIB binary file with installation MIB 
defaults
option in NetView configuration menu
        
   


any idea what can be wrong ?     

thanks
Dominic
