IOR Files
An SDX component writes its object references to an interoperable object reference (IOR) file, and the SNMP agent discovers components by monitoring IOR files.
SDX components have a property called sysman.iordirectory that specifies the location of the IOR file for the component. The default value for the location is the var folder relative to the SNMP agent folder (/opt/UMC/agent/var). If you install the SNMP agent in a folder other than the default, or if you previously changed the sysman.iordirectory property to a folder other than /opt/UMC/agent/var, you need to change the property so that it points to the folder where the IOR file currently resides.
The following sections provide the location and name of the property file for each component.
SNMP Agent
Use this information to access the SNMP agent property file and change the location of the IOR file.
- Location of property file—/opt/UMC/agent/config
- Name of property file—smagent.prop
- Property name—smagent.sysman.iordirectory
- Default value—var
You can change the location of the IOR file for the SNMP agent with the local configuration tool for the SNMP agent. Set this property in the Sysman Agent IOR Directory field. See SDX Getting Started Guide, Chapter 10, Configuring and Starting the SDX SNMP Agent.
SAE
Use this information to access the SAE property file and change the location of the IOR file.
- Location of property file—/opt/UMC/sae/etc
- Name of property file—default.properties
- Property name—sysman.iordirectory
- Default value—/opt/UMC/agent/var
You can change the location of the IOR file for the SAE with the local configuration tool for the SAE. Set this property in the Sysman Agent IOR Directory field.
See SDX Getting Started Guide, Chapter 7, Setting Up an SAE.
License Server
Use this information to access the license server property file and change the location of the IOR file.
- Location of property file—/opt/UMC/licsvr/etc
- Name of property file—bootstrap.properties
- Property name—sysman.iordirectory
- Default value—/opt/UMC/agent/var
You can change the location of the IOR file for the license with the local configuration tool for the license server. Set this property in the Sysman Agent IOR Directory field.
For information about license server, see SDX Getting Started Guide, Chapter 8, Installing and Configuring Licenses.
NIC Host
Use this information to access the network information collector (NIC) property file and change the location of the IOR file.
- Location of property file—/opt/UMC/nic/etc
- Name of property file—nic.properties
- Property name—sysman.iordirectory
- Default value—/opt/UMC/agent/var
You can also change the location of the IOR file for the NIC host with the local configuration tool for the NIC. Set this property in the Sysman IOR field.
For information about NIC hosts, see SDX Network Guide: SAE, Juniper Networks Routers, and NIC, Chapter 5, Locating Subscriber Information.
