Accessing the MIB of the Managed Node
To grant ITO access to the MIB of the managed node, you must ensure
that the get-community-name is set in one of the following ways:
❏ Edit the
opcinfo
file on the managed node (see Table 10-3 on page
opcinfo
file on all platforms), and add the
following line:
SNMP_COMMUNITY <
community
>
where <community> is the community for which the
snmpd
is
configured.
If
SNMP_COMMUNITY
is not set, the default community
public
is
used. If it is set, the specified community name is used for snmp-get
operations and should match one of the get-community strings in the
snmpd
configuration file.
❏ Or edit the configuration file for the SNMP daemon:
on HP-UX 10.x and 11.x managed nodes:
/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf
get-community-name
: enter the community name for the SNMP
agent. More than one community name can be specified by adding a
line for each community name. This can be set to one of the following:
• When left empty:
The SNMP agent responds to get requests using any community
name.
• If a community name is entered, the SNMP agent only responds to
get requests using this community name, for example:
get-community-name: secret
get-community-name: public
ITO requires this access for:
❏ monitoring MIB effectively
❏ the automatic resolution of node attributes when you configure a new
node in ITO.

snmpd
man page. For HP-UX, see the
HP OpenView SNMP Agent Administrator’s Guide.
