Hi,
You should "disable" or "double check" through "smconfig" (MLM
customization) the MLM table :
smMlmAliasState. Either the "alias" name is invalid or the mlm
installation
did not bring you a "good" format for this trap ....

Robert,
Loading the mib does not load the traps. Take a look at mib2trap. That
is a utility
that takes the traps defined and a mib and creates a series of addtrap
commands
that will add the traps to trapd.conf.
mib2trap <mibfile> <outfile>
sh ./outfile
This is how I normally add them.
The "reached the maximum number of outstanding events" is bad. Since you
have
already tried increasing the buffer space, you need to address the core
of your
problem, too many traps. Here is a quick script that will capture all
the agent traps
from NetView, then print them out:
for i in `grep " A " trapd.log | awk '{print $8}' | sort -u`; do echo $i
`grep -c $i trapd.log`; done
This should give you a fairly good idea who the problem machines are,
depending
on your environment and the size of your trapd.log, this may be a fairly
large
output, and you may want to redirect it to a file.
