Installing Nytro MegaRAID Support Software : Installing MegaRAID Storage Manager : Installing and Configuring an SNMP Agent

Installing and Configuring an SNMP Agent

A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-based management application can monitor and manage devices through SNMP extension agents. The MegaRAID SNMP sub agent reports the information about the Nytro MegaRAID controller, virtual drives, physical devices, enclosures, and other items per SNMP request. The SNMP application monitors these devices for issues that might require administrative attention.

*NOTE  The MSM application uses the local IP address in the same subnet as the SMTP server to deliver email notifications to the SMTP server.

This section describes the installation and configuration of the LSI MegaRAID SNMP agent on Linux, Solaris, and Windows operating systems.

*NOTE  The complete installation of the MSM software installs the SNMP agent. However, you can install the SNMP agent (installer) on a system separately, without the MSM software being installed.
