RE: [NV-L] SNMP trap receipt on HACMP interface

["Barr, Scott" <Scott_Barr@csgsystems.com>]

yes all of these article discuss binding the ITM6 communications to a single interface. The unix log, unix OS and universal agent all behave this way. HOWEVER, it is the SNMP port 162 communications that need to flow over the virtual interface - and none of these articles specifically addresses that. It is possible I have it configured correctly and it's just not working. (I'm almost to PMR land)

 

Seriously, if someone has set up netview in an AIX 5.3 HACMP environment - do you have your trap senders sending to the HA virtual address or the physical?

There are a few forum posts floating around on how to do it. You need to bind your agent to the correct hostname/IP

ITM6 / FP04 / IF09 on AIX 5.3

 

Greetings NetView gurus. Has anyone configured NetView (or anything else with a trap reciever)  in an HACMP environment under AIX 5.3? (sounds probable).

 

If so, can you tell me if something special is required to get the trap receiver to listen on the virtual address of the server? I can get it to receive on the physical address for the active side of the cluster - mind you I am using the ITM6 SNMP trap receiver but in general Tivoli guys are clueless about SNMP traps. I'm guessing this is an OS thing and not a product issue so I was hoping someone with Netview experience might have a clue.

 

Sorry to interrupt your regularly scheduled conversation :)
