I have Netview and the UA SNMP data
provider listening for traps on the same HACMP AIX 5.3 machine. I had to change
the listener port for the UA since they both use the same port by default.
I don’t know enough about HACMP to
determine if I am listening on a virtual or physical IP. I have my own
IP/Domain Name for my LPAR so I would assume that DNS is resolving to my LPAR’s
virtual IP.
If you know the commands to verify this I
can check it for you.

receipt on HACMP interface
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

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