6. Configuration
6.1 Server Management Integration
ISM 8.x and ISMS 1.x leverage LANDesk which is a Java-based application used to monitor
baseboard, system, and OS events on servers. When TAM is installed after ISM, TAM event
agents are installed that integrate with the ISM EMS. This allows events from ISM to
automatically be mapped to the server's alarm panel LEDs.
In order to receive critical, major, or minor LED alerts for baseboard and system events, no user
action is required as long as
- TAM (firmware mode) was enabled when prompted during the server’s SDR
flash program. Firmware Mode is the default TAM mode.
or
- If TAM (firmware mode) was disabled when prompted during the server’s SDR
flash program, the IPMI driver, TAM Software, and if the platform is TIGI2U -
ISM/ISMS need to be installed.
6.2 SNMP Trap forwarding to TAM
TAM installs a snmplistener service and a configuration file. This service and configuration file
work together to filter and map SNMP traps to the alarm panel LEDs. Please refer to the
following sections to setup filtering and mapping for SNMP trap messages to the Telco Alarm
Panel LEDs.
Linux: /usr/local/tam/etc/trap2tam.conf
Windows: \ snmptraplistener.ini.
The service, “SNMP Trap Listener Service” parses this file whenever a trap message is
received from the local server. If the trap is configured in the trap2tam configuration file, the
severity is translated according to the configuration file, the event gets added to the alarms
manager database, and the appropriate TAM LED is activated.
6.2.1 Linux SNMP Trap Forwarding Configuration
Linux leverages the snmptrapd daemon to filter traps. Please refer to the man page for
snmptrad for complete configuration information. The following line must exist in
/etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf in order to forward traps to TAM:
traphandle /usr/local/tam/etc/trap2tam Example:
traphandle UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdExperimental.990.0.17 /usr/local/tam/etc/trap2tam
