System Management
Sun SNMP Management Agent for the Sun Fire and Netra Systems
The
Sun SNMP Management Agent enables access to system inventory and
monitoring and provides support for alarms, using the industry standard
management protocol Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The agent supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 to enable
interoperability with all common management applications. The provision
of SNMPv3 enables management accesses to be fully authenticated and
secured.
The agent provides a management model SUN-PLATFORM-MIB which is based
on the standard ENTITY-MIB, and is augmented by extensions that provide
further information dependent on the component being represented. These
extensions are based on the generic network information model (NIM)
presented in ITU-T M.3100 with further extensions taken from attributes
defined by the common information model (CIM) v2.5 schema. These MIBs
are supported on other platforms, enabling common management solutions
to be developed.
The agent provided is intended to augment the management information,
such as MIB-II, already presented by the standard Solaris SNMP agent, snmpdx. Both agents run independently of each other.
Systems currently supported are:
- Netra 210 Server
- Netra 240 Server
- Netra 440 Server
- Netra 1280 Server
- Netra 1290 Server
- Netra T2000 Server
- Sun Fire T1000 Server
- Sun Fire T2000 Server
- Sun Fire V125 Server
- Sun Fire V210 Server
- Sun Fire V215 Server
- Sun Fire V240 Server
- Sun Fire V245 Server
- Sun Fire V250 Server
- Sun Fire V440 Server
- Sun Fire V445 Server
- Sun Fire V1280 Server
- Sun Fire E2900 Server
To download the software, please check the Sun Download Center, and you will be looking for SNMP Management Agent 1.5 or later release.
For full preparation and installation instructions, please check the
documentation.
Sun Management Center
The Sun Management Center software platform is an enterprise management
solution that is based on open standards such as SNMP. The software
allows for a rich set of features that enables the complete modeling of
Sun hardware and software solutions. It provides the most comprehensive
instrumentation and administrative knowledge for Sun environments, and
open interfaces that enable information to be shared with other
management platforms. The net result is systems management becomes
easier, and the overall cost of operations lower.
Support for hardware monitoring within the Sun Management Center
environment is achieved through the use of appropriate hardware
platform module add-on software called configuration reader
(config-reader), which presents hardware-configuration and
fault-reporting information to the Sun Management Center management
server and console.
The add-on software is released as a Web download.
You must have the current version of Sun Management Center 3.6 or 3.6.1
installed before you install one of the add-ons. You should install
only the add-on software needed for the platforms you intend to manage.
The Sun Management Center User's Guide includes definitions,
explanations, and diagrams that clarify the Sun Management Center
architecture. Review that document whenever you have questions about
how consoles, servers, agents, domains, and modules interact.

Sun N1 System Manager
Sun N1 System Manager is an aggregated system manager that helps
administrators reduce cost and complexity while providing the agility to
manage hundreds of systems. Using the N1 System Manager software,
administrators can discover, provision, monitor, update, and manage
anywhere from one to hundreds of Sun systems. The benefits of
the N1 System Manager software include a centralized, interactive,
easy-to-use browser and CLI, allowing administrators to make quick and
accurate changes to single systems or groups of systems.
