do you have your "dsmsnmp" agent running ? ? ? (found in the server install
directory)
> ps -ef | grep snmp
    root  8072 28022   0   Sep 18      -  0:00 ./dsmsnmp
    root 17118 26478   0   Nov 26      -  0:00 ./dsmsnmp
  zdec23 23154 19598   1 09:27:06  pts/1  0:00 grep snmp
    root 26478  8072   0   Sep 18      -  0:00 ./dsmsnmp
    root 27322  5942   0   Sep 20      -  1:22 /usr/sbin/snmpd
    root 28022     1   0   Sep 18      -  0:00 ./dsmsnmp

from your messages, it looks like you probably don't have the dsmsnmp agent
running...

Subject: Problem sending SNMP traps


Hi everyone

I have recently been trying to set up eventlogging on TSM via SNMP.

Our setup:
TSM server 3.7.5, aix 4.3.3

I've added dsmserv.opt to include commethod snmp and the snmpsubagent
parameter points to the local host (where snmpd runs) using a configured
community name.

I ran:  begin eventlogging & enable event snmp all
q eventrules gives the following:
enable events snmp all


The dsmsnmp process is running and is, I believe, successfully
communicating with the agent (snmpd).
Snmpd is successfully sending out non-TSM traps which get collected by the
trapd on our monitoring system.

We receive NO events from TSM via SNMP.

TSM seems to have a problem maintaining a connection with the subagent
(using port 1521). According to netstat port 1521 is not in use by any
other process. We get these error messages (repeating every 5 minutes for
roughly one hour) when we restart the TSM server:

11/21/01   15:08:41      ANR4660I Connected to SNMP subagent at 127.0.0.1
on port
                          1521.
11/21/01   15:08:41      ANR4663W Failure receiving message from SNMP
subagent.
11/21/01   15:08:41      ANR4664W Failure in registering with SNMP
subagent.
11/21/01   15:13:41      ANR4660I Connected to SNMP subagent at 127.0.0.1
on port
                          1521.
11/21/01   15:13:41      ANR4663W Failure receiving message from SNMP
subagent.
11/21/01   15:13:41      ANR4665W Failure re-trying registration with SNMP
                          subagent.

Has anyone got any ideas or suggestions as to why TSM is not sending out
events as SNMP traps??

Thanks in advance for your help
