IBM SystemView for AIX, Version 3
Platform: IBM, RISC System / 6000
Installing the NetWare Management Agent MIBs contained in this directory,
on the SystemView console, will provide the ability to capture and display
real-time server performance data and information about server alarms. The
SystemView console provides the capability to manage network performance by
providing several ways to track and collect performance information for
objects on the network.
To manage a server with SystemView; SNMP, IP, and ManageWise 2.0 or NetWare
Management Agent 2.1 must be running on the server being managed, and one
or more of the MIBs from this directory must be loaded on the OpenView
console.

A. OVERVIEW
-----------
IBMs SystemView for AIX:
- discovers and updates the topology of IP networks and translates the
information into symbols that appear on the view you see of your network's
map.
- uses background processes, or daemons, that run continuously. These
daemons provide services that must be available at all times. These
daemons fall into the following categories: Topology discovery and database
operation, Event and trap processing, and Host connection. A system of
interconnected maps and submaps containing network manageable objects can
be automatically discovered.
- users can access network management functionality through pull-down menus
and dialog boxes.
- is a configuration, performance, and fault management application for
multivendor TCP/IP networks.
- executes network management operations which monitor and control agent
systems (devices on the network) through SNMP.
B. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
============================
Use the NMA 2.1 MIBS, from this directory, in order to be able to compile
and load the MIBs on SystemView for AIX.
To manage a device (or agent) using SystemView for AIX, SystemView for AIX
must
be running with SNMP and NetWare Management Agent on the server being
managed and one or more of the NMA MIB(s), from this directory, must be
loaded on the OpenView console.
B1. Ensure that MIB-I and MIB-II are loaded.
B2. Copy the "new" MIBs into the default directory:
#host /usr/OV/snmp_mibs.
B3. Select the Options... > Load/Unload MIBs: SNMP... menu item. The
Load/Unload MIBs dialog will appear with a scrollable list of the loaded
MIBs.
B4. Click the "Load" button, a "Load MIB from File" dialog box will
appear whith a scrollable list of the MIB files in the default MIB
directory (/usr/OV/snmp_mibs).
B5. Select the NMA MIB to load, these MIBs must be loaded one at a time in
the order of their dependency. RFC1514.MIB must be loaded first and the
nwserver.mib must be loaded second, then NWHOSTX.MIB, NWTREND.MIB and last,
NWALARM.MIB.
B6. Click the OK button. The operation will store the loaded MIBs in the
/usr/OV/conf/snmpmib database.
C. USE INSTRUCTIONS
===================
C1. To gather NMA Data via SystemView Console
Use the MIB Browser to query for NMA MIB values as follows:
(a) Select the Novell NetWare Server with NMA loaded.
(b) Select the Tools... > MIB Browser: SNMP... item from the main
SystemView for AIX menu.
(c) In the Browse MIB dialog box which appears, enter the community
name
of the agent, if left blank the default is "public".
(d) Traverse the MIB tree until the leaf object you wish to browse,
appears in the object listing. Select the object. Selecting the
Describe button will produce the Describe MIB Variable dialogue box
which
includes the name of the MIB object, its object ID, its MIB object
type, and a brief description of its meaning.
(e) Select the Start Query button.
The MIB object information will appear in the MIB Values section of
the dialog box or if the SNMP Get Request could not be accomplished a
message will appear in the Messages section of the dialog.
C2. To Set NMA MIB Objects via Netview Console
(a) Obtain MIB object information as described above in the Gathering
NMA data via the SystemView Console. The data should appear in the
MIB Values section of the Browse MIB dialog box.
(b) Select the MIB object to be modified from the MIB Values section
of the dialog box, the MIB object's instance will appear in the MIB
Instance edit box.
(c) Input the Set value in the SNMP Set Value edit box of the Browse
MIB dialogue box.
(d) The Set button will become enabled once these steps have been
accomplished. Click the Set button and SNMP Set Request will be
issued. Status regarding the Set request will be posted to the
Messages listing of the dialog box.
C3. Forwarding NMA Alarm Traps to SystemView Console
The following configuration steps allow event notification messages and
define actions that should be performed when NMA traps are received from a
NetWare Server to the HP NNM Console:
(a) TRAPTARG.CFG is in SYS:ETC\ on the NetWare Server.
This file allows the user to define recipients to receive SNMP traps
over IPX and UDP.
Edit the Protocol UDP section of TRAPTARG.CFG by adding the SystemView
Console's IP address.
(b) Insure that the SNMP agent, and NMA agent NLMs are loaded on the
Server.
(b) Make sure the NMA MIB(s) are loaded on the SystemView Console, and
that the version matches that of the NMA Agent MIB on the NetWare
Server..
(c) Select a symbol on a submap, then select Monitor > Events >
Current Events from the main menu. All uncleared events associated
with the selected symbol will be displayed.
OR, select a symbol on a submap, then select Monitor > Events > Event
History from the main menu. All historical events will be displayed.
