All,
IHAC who is asking for answers to SNMP questions most of which are around SNMP monitoring of SnapMirror. I have pursued various avenues internally to answer the questions and have had no luck.
Could someone take a look at the questions and either suggest an answer or point me to a resource that can answer them?
Questions 1. How to send Snap Mirror application events to Netcool and what to do with them.2. Severity, event description, operator action, event association, etc.a. We can currently handle SNMP traps and syslog. 2. Are there any recommended SNMP polling thresholds for the Snap Mirror application?a. Polling can be handled by SiteScope or the Data ONTAP SNMP agent. 1. Is syslog the only direct method of event notification for the Snap Mirror application?a. What is the complete list of Snap Mirror event messages with translations as provided by the NOW Syslog Translator?b. Will it be clear from this list what events would require operator/administrator action?c. If not, what events require operator/administrator action? 2. What are the recommended threshold monitors for OIDs in the snapmirror group of the NetApp MIB?a. If so, what are the recommended operator/administrator actions? 3. Besides syslog, what other integration points exist for the monitoring of Snap Mirror application events?a. Is it true that the Data ONTAP SNMP agent does not send SNMP traps for Snap Mirror application events?b. Is there a recommended method for sending SNMP traps for Snap Mirror application events? If so, what is it?
c. Are there plans to integrate Snap Mirror event notification with the Data ONTAP SNMP agent?
Thanks.
