Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Quick Start


SNMP DPI Subagent Options

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, and to provide support for a management information base (MIB). For details about configuring SNMP for use with TSM, see the Administrator's Guide.

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, and OS/2. The subagent process is separate from the TSM server process, but the subagent gets its information from a server options file. When the SNMP management application is enabled, it can get information and messages from servers.

Here is an example of a SNMP setting. You must specify the COMMMETHOD option. For details about the other options, see the Administrator's Reference.
