Additionally, there are several other user actions you may perform within the context of user
configuration. They do not necessarily fall within the workflow, above, and you may perform
them as stand-alone procedures (see
"Miscellaneous User Configuration Tasks" , on page 385).
[Workflow]: Creating an SNMP Driver
iControl’s SNMP Driver Creator allows you to create, modify, delete, publish, and initiate
SNMP drivers. Once you have entered the required information into SNMP Driver Creator
using the SNMP driver configuration tab and Alarms tab, you can click the Script editor tab
to work directly with the generated script.
The following is a sample workflow for creating an SNMP driver:
3. Create users, as required (see page 382 ).
4. Delete default user templates (see "Deleting a User Profile" , on page 384).
5. Modify users, as required (see page 383 ).
Note: In addition to those procedures called upon from this workflow, there are
several other procedures involving SNMP Driver Creator that you may wish to
perform as standalone tasks. They are:
• "Editing an Alarm" on page 406
• "Editing a Driver’s Generated Script" on page 407
• "Editing an Alarm Map, Trap Map, or Poller Profile" on page 407
• "Loading a Driver into SNMP Driver Creator" on page 409
• "Removing a Custom SNMP Driver from an Application Server" on page 409
Sample workflow: Creating an SNMP Driver
1. Open SNMP Driver Creator (see page 578 ).
2. Load the required MIB modules for the device you intend to link to with the new SNMP
driver (see
"Loading a MIB Module into SNMP Driver Creator" , on page 390).
3. Configure the new driver (see "Configuring an SNMP Driver’s Settings" , on page 393).
4. Create an alarm (see page 394 ).
5. [OPTIONAL] Create a poller (see page 401 ).
6. [OPTIONAL] Create an alarm map (see page 396 ).
7. [OPTIONAL] Create a trap map (see page 398 ).
8. Add a MIB OID getter and variable getter to the script (see page 402 ).
9. Verify the driver script syntax (see page 408 ).
10. Package the generated JavaScript source code (see page 404 ).
11. Publish the generated script (see "Publishing a Driver" , on page 405).
