New features in SCO ARCserve/Open Release 2.2.0

Customizing SNMP message severity levels

The SCO ARCserve/Open SNMP Configuration Manager allows you to change the severity level that is assigned to each trapped message.

The SNMP Configuration Manager is accessed from the Utility menu on the SCO ARCserve/Open Quick Access window.

Assigning severity levels to messages

Each SNMP message can be assigned one of four severity levels:

Critical
These messages require immediate attention, such as a failed backup or the need to load media.

Warning
These messages correspond to error or warning situations where SCO ARCserve/Open's operation resumes without intervention.

Normal
These messages consist of standard notifications, such as the start and/or completion of a job.

Disabled
These messages are not trapped and therefore not displayed.

Configuring messages for SCO ARCserve/Open modules

SCO ARCserve/Open allows you to configure messages on a module basis, where a module corresponds to a class of Client Agents associated with a particular platform.

Messages associated with a particular Client Agent can be configured using the Module menu in the SNMP Configuration Manager -- simply select the appropriate Client Agent. Client Agent modules are listed in this menu depending on whether or not the corresponding severity file exists in the /usr/lib/ARCserve/nls/C directory.
