FIFO Cannot Be Created
Error Message
ERROR: FIFO cannot be created. |
Cause
A system error occurred when the Adapter attempted to create the request or the response FIFO.
Solution
Verify that /var/sadm/wbem/snmp exists and has write access.
WBEM Services Are Not Started
Error Message
ERROR: WBEM Services are not started. |
Cause
The Master Agent cannot detect if WBEM Services have started and are running.
Solution
Restart WBEM and wait the number of seconds to which watch-dog-time in snmpXwbem.reg is set.
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem start |
After a period of time, the Master Agent starts the Adapter automatically. By default, the Master Agent tries to start the Adapter every four minutes (or number of seconds to which watch-dog-time is set).
Note - If you do not want to wait for the Master Agent to start the Adapter automatically, stop and then restart the Master Agent.
# /etc/init.d/init.snmpdx stop
# /etc/init.d/init.snmpdx start
The Master Agent immediately starts the Adapter.
SNMP Provider
The SNMP Provider is a software component that provides information about managed elements to the CIM Object Manager, including configuration information about an SNMP device.
Note - The SNMP Provider supports traps by listening to port 162 for SNMP V1 and SNMP V2 traps. To display the events that are generated by these traps, you must subscribe to CIM_SNMPTrapIndication.
Generating a MOF File From an SNMP MIB File
When you want to access Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) information through the SNMP Provider, you use a Management Information Base (MIB) file to generate a Managed Object Format (MOF) file. The mib2mof command generates qualifiers that enable the SNMP Provider to map CIM operations that are performed on the CIM classes in the MOF file to SNMP operations. The mib2mof command is described in mib2mof(1M).
Note - The SNMP Provider supports SNMP traps. Traps are reported in the CIM process indication event CIM_SNMPTrapIndication. When a client subscribes to the provider for this event, the provider listens on port 162 for SNMP V1 and SNMP V2 traps. The information is copied from the trap to the indication. Then, the indication is delivered to the client.
The MOF files that describe the CIM Schema and the Solaris Schema are located in /usr/sadm/mof. MOF files are described in more detail in the Solaris WBEM SDK Developer's Guide.
