Central SNMP integration of the SE server is administered using the SE Manager on the Management Unit. The preconfiguration is created in such a manner that you can also use SNMP to monitor the other units on the management stations provided a configuration for SNMP integration exists on the Management Unit (read access, trap receiver):
Queries regarding the Server Unit /390 are possible on the Management Unit (see the private MIBs).
Management stations can address the SNMP agent on the Server Unit x86 or HNC and query data (the SNMP agent supports the MIB-II and private MIBs for queries).
In defined error situations (e.g. status changes) the SNMP agent on the Server Unit x86 or HNC sends traps to management stations.
On Application Units, on the other hand, you must configure SNMP yourself.
The following private MIBs must be imported to the management station in order to permit access in read mode and to enable the traps to be interpreted:
/usr/share/snmp/mibs/FUJITSU-SESERVER-MIB.txt
/usr/share/snmp/mibs/FUJITSU-SU390-MIB.txt
At the Management Units and Server Units x86, ServerView RAID periodically checks hardware components. These events are reported by trap, even in good case with the weight NOTIFICATION
. Text example of such a successful test: "Patrol Read started" and "Patrol Read finished".
In order for ServerView RAID's traps to be correctly represented by the management station, the MIB /usr/share/snmp/mibs/FSC-RAID-MIB.txt
must be imported to the management station.
The traps usually contain neither the trap weight nor the message text. This information can only be read from the MIB.
Access to MIB files on the Management Unit is, for example, possible under any administrator account with scp
(secure copy).
Security-relevant actions
When creating the SNMP configuration, ensure that only trusted management stations can access the Management Unit resp. the Server Units of the SE server by configuring the read community with a restriction to the management station.
As far as possible use only specific read communities (not public).
Grant access only to precisely defined management stations (by specifying their host names).
- When creating the SNMP configuration, ensure that traps are sent only to trusted management stations from the Management Unit resp. the Server Units of the SE server.
- As far as possible use only one specific trap community (not public).
- Enter only the management stations intended for this purpose as trap receivers.
