You can receive information about the status of SVMs deployed in the virtual infrastructure by using any network management system that utilizes the SNMP protocol. An SVM is installed with an SNMP agent that can send information about the status of the SVM to the network management system of your organization.
SNMP Agent can relay the following SVM status information:
SNMP Agent relays the On (services are running) or Off (services are not running) value.
This data is specific to the application, and such information is contained in the MIB file KSV-MIB.txt that is supplied together with the application. You can use this file to receive additional information from SVMs. You can also receive other values of SNMP counters from the standard set of the Net-SNMP package.
SNMP Monitoring is enabled and disabled in the policy settings for the Protection Server. If SNMP Monitoring is enabled in the active Protection Server policy, the SNMP agent installed on an SVM relays information about the status of the SVM to the network management system of your organization.
If the policy that enables SNMP monitoring is inactive, information about the status of SVMs is not relayed.
To enable or disable SNMP Monitoring:
