Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is basically used for monitoring your system behavior by forwarding system change notification to a manager server and manager will notify the customer either through email or ticket management system. We generally use SNMP for all kinds of systems like, servers, network equipments, storage arrays etc,
We do have similar mechanism for HPE 3PAR Storage as well. Which helps us to respond to any system failures or general notifications and we can avoid system unplanned outages.
There are two possible options available to add SNMP manager details on 3PAR StoreServ. addsnmpmgr and setsnmpmgr. addsnmpmgr is the standard command we generally use for adding SNMP manager information on a 3PAR system. Basically, setsnmpmgr is used for making changes to the SNMP settings, but you can also use it for adding an SNMP manager details to your 3par system.
The possible options which we use with addsnmpmgr are as follows,
-version : is an Integer value that specifies the SNMP version supported by the manager(V3, V2 etc)
-p <port_number>: Specifies the port number where the SNMP manager receives traps. By default it is 162.
There are also options available to set SNMP string and user name/password for sending the traps to SNMP manager.
To Add an SNMP manger information, enter the command as mentioned below.
If everything is alright, check the functionality by sending a trap.
You can add multiple SNMP managers if you wish. Make sure you set the correct port for all managers and you are done.
