To enable ASUS SNMP agent, you need to start asma_agent by issuing the asma_agent start command. Once the ASMA package has been correctly installed and started, you can use any SNMP console like HP's OpenView with ASUS' MIB file to get or set ASUS MIB variables. Chapter 4 : ASMA Software for Linux 39 ASMA for Linux Installation and Configuration Installation Type: rpm -ivh asma-3. 0-18. i386. rpm Uninstallation Type: rpm -e asma-3. 0-18 Because ASWM sits on top of ASMA, you cannot remove ASMA directly. Type: rpm -e --nodeps asma-3. 0-18 inorder to bypass the dependency check to remove ASMA while leaving ASWM. Configuration To configure ASMA, type: asma_post_install Press [Enter] on a question to use the default setting in asma_post_install. 40 ASUS System Management Software User's Manual ASMA for Linux I. INSTALLATION PATH This screen will ask for paths to install the ASMA software, configuration files. You will also be asked for the path to the UCDSNMP tools that you have installed inorder to use the system's SNMP funtion correctly. SNMP INFORMATION This screen shows setting up the system's SNMP configuration using asma_post_install. After asma_post_install, if you want to change these settings by yourself, you can manually edit /etc/snmp/ snmpd. conf (see example on next page). MISC This screen asks if you want to start ASUS SNMP agent now. Answer y for "yes" or n for "no". 42 ASUS System Management Software User's Manual ASMA for Linux Configuration Files The following example assumes {ASMA configuration path} is /etc/asus (default setting) a. /etc/asus/install_path. conf: setting for install path setting. There are two configuration types: one is ASMA (extension agent software) binary/configuration path; the other is snmpd daemon (system daemon) binary/configuration path. b. /etc/asus/asma. conf: setting for snmp upper/lower threshold value and ASR/Chassis Intrusion enable setting value. If this file does not exist, it will be created automatically based on the system situation when issuing the asma_agent start command. [. . . ] 78 ASUS System Management Software User's Manual ASMA for Netware Install ASMA for Netware 4. x/5. x/6. x (CD Item 3) NOTE: ASMA for Netware does not support ASWM. On some server models, ASMA is not supported on Netware 5. x. Before you install ASUS System Monitoring Agent For NetWare, you should make sure that SNMP NLM is already installed properly in the Netware system, because the ASUS System Monitoring Agent For NetWare needs NWSNMP (Netware SNMP) to work correctly. This Software can run on Netware 3. 12, Netware 4. x, 5. x, 6. x. For Netware 3. 12, a patch file LIB312A. EXE must be installed. [. . . ]
