Starting the SDX SNMP Agent

Before you start the SDX SNMP agent, you must do the following:

1. Start the installed directory server as described in Chapter 6, Defining an Initial Configuration.
2. Configure the SDX SNMP agent as described in Configuring the SNMP Agent.

You must manually start the SDX SNMP agent the first time it runs. Thereafter, the agent automatically restarts.

To start the SNMP agent:

1. On the SNMP agent host, log in as root or as an authorized nonroot admin user.
2. Start the SNMP agent from its installation directory.

/opt/UMC/agent/etc/smagent start

The system responds with a start message. If the SNMP agent is already running, the system responds with a warning message indicating that fact.
