snmpXdmid(1M)

NAME

     snmpXdmid - Sun Solstice Enterprise SNMP-DMI mapper subagent

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/lib/dmi/snmpXdmid -s hostname [-h]  [-c config-dir]  [-
     d debug-level]

DESCRIPTION

     The snmpXdmid utility is a subagent in the  Solstice  Enter-
     prise  Agent  Desktop Management Interface package.  It maps
     the  SNMP  requests  forwarded  by  the   Master   Agent   (
     snmpdx(1M))  into  one  or  more  equivalent  DMI  requests.
     Further, it remaps the DMI response into SNMP response  back
     to snmpdx. By default, snmpXdmid also forwards the DMI indi-
     cations as SNMP traps to snmpdx.  The feature  is  configur-
     able and can be disabled by  setting
      TRAP_FORWARD_TO_MAGENT=0  in  the  snmpXdmid  configuration
     file, snmpXdmid.conf.

     This subagent runs as a daemon in the system.  The  subagent
     uses  a set of .MAP files located in /var/dmi/map to map the
     SNMP Object Identifier (OID) into a corresponding  DMI  com-
     ponent.  The  map  files  are generated using the MIF-to-MIB
     utility, miftomib.   They  are  read  by  snmpXdmid  when  a
     corresponding MIF file gets  registered with the DMI Service
     Provider ( dmispd(1M)).

     The snmpXdmid.conf file is used for  configuration  informa-
     tion.  Each entry in the file consists of a keyword followed
     by an equal sign (=), followed by a parameter  string.   The
     keyword  must begin in the first position.  A line beginning
     with a pound sign (#) is treated as a comment and the subse-
     quent  characters  on  that  line  are ignored. The keywords
     currently supported are:

     WARNING_TIMESTAMP
           Indication subscription expiration, warning time.

     EXPIRATION_TIMESTAMP
           Indication subscription expiration timestamp.

     FAILURE_THRESHOLD
           DMISP retries before dropping indication due  to  comm
           errors.

     TRAP_FORWARD_TO_MAGENT

           0     Drop indication at the subagent level.

           non-zero
                 Forward indications as SNMP traps to snmpdx.

     By default, the configuration file snmpXdmid.conf is located
     in the /etc/dmi/conf directory.  You can specify an alterna-
     tive directory with the -c option.
