Adding SNMP managers

Edit online

Use the mksnmp command to add an SNMP manager to the list of servers to which Copy Services Manager sends SNMP alerts.

About this task

Copy Services Manager uses management information base (MIB) files to provide a textual description of each SNMP alert that is sent by Copy Services Manager. You must configure the SNMP manager to use both the SYSAPPL-MIB.mib and ibm-CSM.mib files. These files are on the installation DVD in the replication\CSM-Client\etc directory. Follow the directions that are provided by your SNMP manager application to configure it to use the MIB files.

Copy Services Manager sends all SNMP alerts to each registered SNMP manager. SNMP alerts are not specific to any particular session, and all alerts for any session are sent. You cannot choose to send a subset of SNMP alerts.
