OSA-Express SNMP subagent support
The OSA-Express Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subagent (osasnmpd) supports management information bases (MIBs) for the OSA-Express features.
The subagent supports OSA-Express features as shown in Table 1.
This subagent capability through the OSA-Express features is also called Direct SNMP to distinguish it from another method of accessing OSA SNMP data through OSA/SF, a package for monitoring and managing OSA features that does not run on Linux®.
To use the osasnmpd
subagent, you need:
- An OSA-Express feature running in QDIO mode with the latest textual MIB file for the appropriate LIC level (recommended)
- The qeth device driver for OSA-Express (QDIO)
- The osasnmpd subagent from the s390utils RPM
- The net-snmp package delivered with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
