TSM implements a simple network management protocol (SNMP) subagent. You can configure the SNMP subagent to send traps to an SNMP manager, such as NetView(R), and to provide support for a management information base (MIB).
The subagent communicates with the snmpd daemon, which in turn communicates with a management application. The snmpd daemon must support the DPI protocol. Agents are available on AIX, Windows 95, Windows NT(R), and OS/2(R).
The subagent process is separate from the TSM server process, but the subagent gets its information from the server options file. When the SNMP management application is enabled, it can get information from TSM servers.
Here is an example of an SNMP communication method setting:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |commmethod snmp | | | | snmpheartbeatinterval 5 | | snmpmessagecategory severity | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
