0. Introduction
|
|
|
|
This document is a compilation of information relating to
|
|
running net-snmp (www.net-snmp.org) on Sun SPARC and Ultra
|
|
hardware under the Solaris operating system.
|
|
|
|
This can be done either in conjunction with or as a
|
|
replacement for Sun's SNMP daemons.
|
|
|
|
This is discussed in detail in the sections below. Since
|
|
this is the work of several authors, credit is given.
|
|
Discussion, however, should take place on the net-snmp-users
|
|
or net-snmp-coders mailing lists so everybody can
|
|
benefit. See http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=12694 .
|
|
Use "net-snmp-users" for general usage questions and "net-snmp-coders" for
|
|
discussion of net-snmp source code.

|
|
|
|
1. Things you will need
|
|
|
|
A. Root access
|
|
|
|
Root access is required to follow pretty much any of
|
|
the steps below. At a bare minimum, you will need
|
|
to be able to start and stop daemons, which requires root
|
|
(at least for the default ports).
|
|
|
|
B. Determine existing SNMP functionality
|
|
|
|
SNMP uses ports 161 and 162 by default. Only one application
|
|
can use them at a time. If there is an existing SNMP
|
|
application (eg. Sun's snmpdx daemon) you need to either
|
|
turn this off or work around it. You may also have
|
|
a previous version of net-snmp, the older ucd-snmp, or
|
|
something completely different. The following commands:
|
|
|
|
ps -ef | grep snm
|
|
ps -ef | grep mibi
|
|
|
|
will give you a fairly good idea what is going on.
|
|
|
|
If you see something like:
|
|
|
|
root 643 1 0 Jan 16 ? 5:49 /usr/local/sbin/snmpd
|
|
|
|
that's probably a version of net-snmp. The instructions in various
|
|
sections below should give you clues on what to do next.
|
|
|
|
If you see something like:
|
|
|
|
root 16178 1 0 13:16:04 pts/2 0:00 /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx -y -c /etc/snmp/conf
|
|
|
|
and/or
|
|
|
|
root 21371 1 0 Feb 07 ? 0:52 mibiisa -r -p 41178
|
|
|
|
then Sun's SNMP daemons are running.
|
|
|
|
If you need this, for example if you use the Solstice Enterprise
|
|
Agent, you may wish to run net-snmp as a sub-agent (see section 7).
|
|
Otherwise, you will need to disable Sun's daemons (see section 2).
|
|
|
|
Regardless you may wish to compile net-snmp from source
|
|
and install it (see sections 3, 5 and 6) or install
|
|
binaries (see sections 4 and 5).
|
|
|
|
If some other SNMP daemon is running, you will need to determine
|
|
where it came from and what it's being used for. You get clues by
|
|
typing "snmpd -v" or "snmpd --help". In some cases it may be
|
|
a subagent or agent from another application, such as ORACLE. If
|
|
you disable its agent, you will need to re-create this functionality
|
|
under net-snmp (eg. by running it as a sub-agent). ORACLE's SNMP
|
|
functionality is turned on by default and may be unnecessary if
|
|
you aren't using ORACLE's Enterprise Manager. Refer to ORACLE's
|
|
documentation on how to disable it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have decided to compile your own net-snmp, you will need ...
|
|
|
|
C. A compilation environment
|
|
|
|
-a compiler (gcc or Sun's Forte cc) or the gcc libraries
|
|
(note, the cc in /usr/ucb is NOT a full-blown compiler)
|
|
-OpenSSL (sunfreeware.com or source www.openssl.org)
|
|
-zlib (sunfreeware.com or source www.gzip.org/zlib/)
|
|
-an SNMP community string ("public" is deprecated)
|
|
|
|
If you are installing on a development machine, it may be best
|
|
to compile OpenSSL and zlib from source, otherwise
|
|
obtain the appropriate zlib for your platform from sunfreeware
|
|
and install (it goes to /usr/local automatically).
|
|
Obtain the appropriate OpenSSL for your platform from sunfreeware
|
|
and install (it goes to /usr/local), you may need the gcc libraries.
|
|
These libraries should not need to be installed if you are using
|
|
binaries, but your mileage may vary. Note the library problem
|
|
with libcrypto noted below (section 14).
|
|
|
|
There are two choices for compilers. Sun has a Forte development
|
|
suite that includes a standalone C compiler. If you have it, it
|
|
is likely installed in /opt/SUNWspro/bin.
|
|
|
|
The more common choice is gcc (2.95.3 or better have been tested)
|
|
available from sunfreeware.com. If you install gcc, you do not
|
|
need the gcc libraries. 3.3.2 or later is recommended.
|
|
|
|
Given that net-snmp is developed to work on a wide variety of
|
|
platforms, but especially for linux, there's a better chance of
|
|
it working using gcc at any given time. We also do regular test
|
|
builds with Sun cc, though.

|
|
|
2. Disabling Sun's SNMP daemons
|
|
|
|
Note: Sun has started to include net-snmp (version 5.0.9 plus their
|
|
patches) with Solaris 10 and later. These instructions are written
|
|
with Solaris 9 and previous in mind.
|
|
|
|
Out of the box, Sun runs four SNMP daemons: mibiisa, idmispd,
|
|
snmpXdmid and snmpdx.
|
|
|
|
These must be disabled before running net-snmp unless you are planning
|
|
on running them together (see Section 7 below). Here is the procedure:
|
|
|
|
cd /etc/rc3.d
|
|
./S76snmpdx stop
|
|
./S77dmi stop
|
|
mv S76snmpdx s76snmpdx
|
|
mv S77dmi s77dmi
|
|
|
|
If you are using Solstice Disksuite, you may also be running
|
|
mdlogd. Leave this alone.
|
|
|
|
You will need to create a new script to start net-snmp.
|
|
See dist/snmpd-init.d and dist/snmptrapd-init.d for templates.
|

------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
3. Compiling net-snmp
|
|
|
|
It is strongly recommended that you compile net-snmp from source.
|
|
That way you are guaranteed a working version for your specific
|
|
configuration of operating system, applications and libraries.
|
|
|
|
If, for some reason, you cannot compile on a specific machine,
|
|
there are binaries available for download (see section 4).
|
|
In addition, you may create your own binaries (see section 6).
|
|
|
|
You need to set your $PATH. This is extremely important
|
|
because otherwise there may be conflicts between the various
|
|
components of the development environment.
|
|
|
|
If you are using FORTE:
|
|
|
|
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/local/bin:
|
|
|
|
If you are using gcc (installed in /usr/local/bin):
|
|
|
|
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin
|
|
|
|
Obtain a current version of net-snmp (which, if you're reading this,
|
|
presumably you have - don't you love recursion?) www.net-snmp.org/download/
|
|
|
|
Uncompress it and untar it in a working directory eg. /usr/local/src/net-snmp
|
|
|
|
In order to save a lot of typing, you should create a "configure"
|
|
script eg. bcc.sh in the directory below eg. /usr/local/src.
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-mib-modules="ucd-snmp/lmSensors ucd-snmp/diskio \
|
|
smux mibII/mta_sendmail" --with-cc=gcc
|
|
|
|
(note, see the long discussion about Perl below)
|
|
(note, substitute "cc" for "gcc" as appropriate)
|
|
(note, for LM-SENSORS-MIB support, see discussion below)
|
|
|
|
then call this script from the net-snmp directory ie ../bcc.sh
|
|
|
|
and answer the appropriate questions (usually with the default).
|
|
|
|
When it completes, you should see something like:
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Net-SNMP configuration summary:
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Net-SNMP Version: 5.4
|
|
Building for: solaris2
|
|
Network transport support: Callback Unix TCP UDP
|
|
SNMPv3 Security Modules: usm
|
|
Agent MIB code: mibII ucd_snmp snmpv3mibs notification target
|
|
\agent_mibs agentx agent_mibs utilities host disman/event-mib
|
|
\ucd-snmp/diskio smux agentx mibII/mta_sendmail
|
|
SNMP Perl modules: disabled
|
|
Embedded perl support: disabled
|
|
Authentication support: MD5 SHA1
|
|
Encryption support: DES
|
|
|
|
Type:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
and watch for compile errors.
|
|
|
|
You will receive numerous warnings. This is normal,
|
|
a side effect of supporting a variety of development environments.
|
|
|
|
Now type:
|
|
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
and watch for failures. Also watch for the special tests for Solaris.
|
|
|
|
If you are satisfied with the tests, stop any snmpd daemons
|
|
that may be running (see section 2) and type:
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
When complete, go on to section 5 below.

4. Obtaining and installing binaries
|
|
|
|
It is strongly recommended that you compile net-snmp from source.
|
|
That way you are guaranteed a working version for your specific
|
|
configuration of operating system, applications and libraries.
|
|
|
|
Binaries for Solaris may be found in two locations.
|
|
|
|
www.sunfreeware.com - this installs as a package.
|
|
It does not have Perl support.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, I recommend:
|
|
|
|
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/download/ (you will be redirected)
|
|
|
|
This is the official repository for binaries.
|
|
|
|
To determine which binary you need, you will need several pieces of
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
-operating system version,
|
|
-hardware platform
|
|
-net-snmp version desired
|
|
|
|
The first two may be obtained by typing:
|
|
|
|
uname -a
|
|
|
|
It will return something like:
|
|
|
|
SunOS foo 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4
|
|
|
|
5.8 means Solaris 8
|
|
5.7 means Solaris 7 etc.
|
|
|
|
"sun4u" is the Ultra hardware platform
|
|
"sun4m" is SuperSPARC eg. Sparc 5 or Sparc 10
|
|
"sun4d" is older SPARC boxes.
|
|
|
|
You can then decode the binary version by its name eg.:
|
|
|
|
net-snmp_5.0.9-SunOS_5.8_sun4u.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
means "net-snmp version 5.0.9 for Solaris 8 running on Ultra
|
|
hardware".
|
|
|
|
Once you have found the appropriate version, download it to a
|
|
distribution directory (making one if necessary) eg. /usr/local/dist
|
|
|
|
Type the following: (using the sample above)
|
|
|
|
cd /
|
|
tar -xvf /usr/local/dist/net-snmp-5.0.9-SunOS_5.8_sun4u.tar
|
|
|
|
The binaries, libraries, etc. will be installed in /usr/local.
|
|
|
|
Remove the tar file to save space. Create an snmpd.conf (see below)
|
|
or use an existing one from another machine.
|
|
It installs in /usr/local/share/snmp.
|
|
|
|
Install a startup script (see section 1).
|
|
|
|
For further information, see README.solaris.binaries.x that ships
|
|
with the binaries.
|
|
|
|
--Bruce Shaw <Bruce.Shaw at shaw.ca>
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
5. Creating snmpd.conf and testing
|
|
|
|
When everything is installed, run:
|
|
|
|
snmpconf -g basic_setup
|
|
|
|
and answer the questions appropriately. If you are using
|
|
the defaults, place the resulting snmpd.conf file in:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf
|
|
|
|
A security note - use of the "public" community is deprecated.
|
|
This example uses "whatever" as a community.
|
|
|
|
When you have the daemon running either with the script above or running:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/sbin/snmpd
|
|
|
|
test the daemon's functionality by typing:
|
|
|
|
snmpget -v 1 -c whatever localhost sysUpTime.0
|
|
snmpwalk -v 2c -c whatever -m ALL localhost .1.3 | more
|
|
|
|
and paging through the results.
|
|
|
|
If you have problems, you can examine diagnostic messages
|
|
by running:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/sbin/snmpd -f -Le
|
|
|
|
or use gdb (available from www.sunsolve.com) as follows:
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/sbin
|
|
gdb snmpd
|
|
run -f -Le
|
|
|
|
and when it blows up:
|
|
|
|
bt
|
|
|
|
to get the backtrace.
|
|
|
|
You can use:
|
|
|
|
run -f -Le -D <modulename>
|
|
|
|
to display debug messages.
|
|
|
|
To display all debug messages type:
|
|
|
|
run -f -Le -D ALL
|
|
|
|
but this will be extremely verbose.

------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
6. Creating your own binaries
|
|
|
|
Pick an appropriate name for a tarfile
|
|
eg. net-snmp-5.4.custom-SunOS_5.8_sun4u.tar (see above)
|
|
(this particular one means "a customized version of
|
|
net-snmp 5.4 that works under Solaris 8 running on Ultra hardware")
|
|
|
|
Create an empty directory such as /usr/local/dist, then do the following
|
|
from the source directory (using the example above):
|
|
|
|
make install prefix=/usr/local/dist/usr/local \
|
|
exec_prefix=/usr/local/dist/usr/local
|
|
cd /usr/local/dist
|
|
tar -cvf net-snmp-5.4.custom-SunOS_5.8_sun4u.tar usr
|
|
|
|
Transfer this file to the machine where you want to install from binary.
|
|
Place it in a distribution directory eg. /usr/local/dist
|
|
Type the following (using the example above):
|
|
|
|
cd /
|
|
tar -xvf /usr/local/dist/net-snmp-5.4.custom-SunOS_5.8_sun4u.tar
|
|
|
|
Remove the tar file to save space. Create an snmpd.conf (see above)
|
|
or use an existing one from another machine. If you are using
|
|
the defaults, it installs in /usr/local/share/snmp. Install
|
|
a startup script (see section 2).
|
|
|
|
Note that if you create a binary with Perl support (see below) an
|
|
identically configured Perl needs to be installed as well.

7. Using Sun's SNMP daemon and net-snmp together
|
|
|
|
Net-SNMP may be used as a subagent in conjunction with Sun's snmpdx daemon.
|
|
|
|
To do this, you will need to modify several files,
|
|
all located in /etc/snmp/conf.
|
|
|
|
First, do the following:
|
|
|
|
/etc/rc3.d/S76snmpdx stop (assuming you haven't done so already, and...)
|
|
/etc/rc3.d/S77dmi stop (...assuming you haven't renamed them)
|
|
|
|
cd /etc/snmp/conf
|
|
cp snmpd.conf snmpd.conf.orig
|
|
cp snmpdx.acl snmpdx.acl.orig
|
|
cp snmpdx.reg snmpdx.reg.orig
|
|
cp snmpdx.rsrc snmpdx.rsrc.orig
|
|
cp mibiisa.reg mibiisa.reg.orig
|
|
cp mibiisa.rsrc mibiisa.rsrc.orig
|
|
|
|
modify snmpd.conf with the correct:
|
|
|
|
sysdescr
|
|
syscontact
|
|
sysLocation
|
|
system-group-read-community
|
|
read-community (in my example below I will use community "whatever")
|
|
trap
|
|
trap-community
|
|
managers (leave blank for all)
|
|
|
|
modify snmpdx.acl with the correct:
|
|
|
|
trap-community
|
|
trap-recipients
|
|
communities
|
|
access
|
|
|
|
Make sure that in snmpdx.reg the port is 161.
|
|
|
|
You will now need to add two files - net-snmp.reg and net-snmp.rsrc
|
|
|
|
In this example, "subtrees" is set for HOST-RESOURCES-MIB, and UCD-SNMP-MIB.
|
|
Do not use net-snmp's MIB-2 information as this is already provided by
|
|
Sun's mib and may cause a conflict.
|
|
|
|
::::: net-snmp.reg ::::::
|
|
|
|
# net-snmp.reg
|
|
# mib-2 is already provided by the mibiisa process
|
|
# that is a default sub agent of snmpdx
|
|
# we are specifying only hostmib and ucd
|

# mib-2 = 1.3.6.1.2.1
|
|
# enterprise = 1.3.6.1.4.1
|
|
# sun = 1.3.6.1.4.1.42
|
|
#
|
|
# You can define your own macros, so that you can
|
|
# manipulate strings instead of OIDs in defining the agent.
|
|
# See the "agent" section below.
|
|
|
|
macros =
|
|
{
|
|
host = mib-2.25
|

|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
::::::::::::::::::

|
{
|
|
{
|
|
registration_file = "/etc/snmp/conf/net-snmp.reg"
|
|
policy = "spawn"
|
|
type = "legacy"
|
|
command = "/usr/local/sbin/snmpd $PORT"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
::::::::::::::::::
|
|
|
|
Stop any net-snmp processes that may be running.
|
|
|
|
Start Sun's daemons by typing:
|
|
|
|
/etc/rc3.d/S76snmpdx start (assuming you haven't renamed it)
|
|
/etc/rc3.d/S77dmi start (assuming you haven't renamed it)
|
|
|
|
Wait a moment for everything to stabilize, then try these two queries:
|
|
|
|
snmpget -v 1 -c whatever localhost sysDescr.0
|
|
snmpget -v 1 -c whatever localhost hrSystemUptime.0
|
|
|
|
You should see something like:
|
|
|
|
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: SunOS foo 5.6 Generic_105181-30 sun4u
|
|

|
which is Sun's daemon talking, and:
|
|
|
|
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemUptime.0 = Timeticks: (78540910) 9 days, 2:10:09.10
|
|
|
|
which is net-snmp talking. It is acting as a sub-agent through Sun's daemon.
|
|
|
|
If Sun's daemons fail, you will need to shut down the snmpd daemons by typing:
|
|
|
|
pkill snmpd
|
|
|
|
Then do the following:
|
|
|
|
/etc/rc3.d/S76snmpdx stop (assuming you haven't renamed it)
|
|
/etc/rc3.d/S77dmi stop (assuming you haven't renamed it)
|
|
/etc/rc3.d/S76snmpdx start (assuming you haven't renamed it)
|
|
/etc/rc3.d/S77dmi start (assuming you haven't renamed it)
|
|
|
|
rather than trying to individually clobber all the various Sun daemons.
|
|
|
|
This configuration appears to deal properly with snmpgets
|
|
and handle mistakes gracefully.
|
|
|
|
Beyond this, your mileage may vary.
|
|
|
|
You may wish to modify the subtrees in net-snmp.reg as you find things
|
|
that do and don't work. Remember to keep backup copies of working
|
|
configurations.

8. Monitoring disks, processes and execs (DISMAN-EVENT-MIB)
|
|
|
|
Important note: this section only applies to the old DISMAN-EVENT-MIB
|
|
implementation called "disman/event-mib", *not* the current "disman/event"
|
|
mib module which is active by default since net-snmp 5.3 and later.
|
|
|
|
For a full explanation of using DISMAN-EVENT-MIB, see:
|
|
|
|
http://www.net-snmp.org/man/snmpd.conf.html
|
|
|
|
To use this component, net-snmp must be compiled with the option..
|
|
|
|
--with-mib-modules="disman/event-mib"
|
|
|
|
This discussion concerns the use of DISMAN-EVENT-MIB with Solaris.
|
|
|
|
There is a bug preventing the use of some of its functionality. This
|
|
discussion will document what is known to work and how to use it.
|
|
|
|
The problem revolves around the use of monitors. The...
|
|
|
|
defaultMonitors yes
|
|
|
|
token will NOT work for reasons discussed below. I suspect that the
|
|
notificationEvent tokens will not work for the same reason but this
|
|
has not been tested. Your mileage may vary. Same with includeAllDisks.
|
|
|
|
The documentation suggests using...
|
|
|
|
monitor -o prNames -o prErrMessage "process table" prErrorFlag != 0
|
|
|
|
to monitor all processes. This will fail with ambiguous results.
|
|
|
|
To monitor processes, put a separate monitor line for each process.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
######
|
|
proc smail
|
|
proc mdlogd
|
|
|
|
monitor -r 30 -i -o prNames.1 -o prErrMessage.1 "Process smail" prErrorFlag.1 !=0
|
|
monitor -r 30 -i -o prNames.2 -o prErrMessage.2 "Process Solstice Disksuite SNMP trap" prErrorFlag.2 !=0
|
|
|
|
To monitor disks, do the same. An example:
|
|
|
|
########
|
|
# This example sends a trap if root has less than 10% available and /usr6 less t
|
|
han 90%
|
|
#
|
|
disk / 10%
|
|
disk /usr6 90%
|
|
|
|
monitor -i -r 30 -o dskPath.1 -o dskErrorMsg.1 "root file system" dskErrorFlag.1 !=0
|
|
monitor -i -r 30 -o dskPath.2 -o dskErrorMsg.2 "ORACLE file system" dskErrorFlag.2 != 0
|
|
#########
|
|
|
|
To implement an external program then monitor its results you need to set up your script.
|
|
|
|
Here is a sample script.
|
|
|
|
#!//usr/bin/ksh
|
|
xstatus=0
|
|
|
|
if [ $xstatus -eq 0 ];then
|
|
echo success: $0
|
|
else
|
|
echo FAILURE: $0
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
exit $xstatus
|
|
###end of script tester##
|
|
|
|
Place this script in /usr/local/src and make it executable. Make copies called
|
|
tester1, tester2 etc.
|
|
and make them executable.
|
|
|
|
Here is a sample snmpd.conf snippet that makes use of the exec feature:
|
|
##############
|
|
|
|
exec tester1 /usr/local/src/tester1
|
|
exec tester2 /usr/local/src/tester2
|
|
exec tester3 /usr/local/src/tester3
|
|
exec tester4 /usr/local/src/tester4
|
|
exec tester5 /usr/local/src/tester5
|
|
|
|
monitor -i -r 60 -o extNames.1 -o extOutput.1 "status table 1" extResult.1 != 0
|
|
monitor -i -r 60 -o extNames.2 -o extOutput.2 "status table 2" extResult.2 != 0
|
|
monitor -i -r 60 -o extNames.3 -o extOutput.3 "status table 3" extResult.3 != 0
|
|
monitor -i -r 60 -o extNames.4 -o extOutput.4 "status table 4" extResult.4 != 0
|
|
monitor -i -r 60 -o extNames.5 -o extOutput.5 "status table 5" extResult.5 != 0
|
|
##############
|
|
|
|
While snmpd is running, go to /usr/local/src and modify one of the tester programs eg. tester1
|
|
|
|
xstatus=1
|
|
|
|
and save the file. Sometime in the next 60 seconds, a trap will be generated.
|
|
Change the value back to 0, then modify another file.
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure of the correct row number within a specific table, do an snmpwalk eg.
|
|
|
|
snmpwalk -v 2c -c public -m ALL localhost prNames
|
|
|
|
The same methodology can presumably be used for fileName and laNames. Your mileage may vary.

9. Monitoring CPU temp, fan and power supply sensors (LM-SENSORS-MIB)
|
|
|
|
Note: This module (ucd-snmp/lmSensors) works in "read only" mode to examine
|
|
sensors. It cannot change switch or fan settings.
|
|
|
|
It has been tested at least on the following platforms:
|
|
|
|
Enterprise 450
|
|
V880
|
|
280R
|
|
|
|
If you have information about other platforms this is desperately needed. For
|
|
example, the only "state" that I'm aware of for an i2c is "OK". The more
|
|
information we have, the richer the components.
|
|
|
|
Please report any performance statistics, bugs or omissions to the users list.
|
|
Please report any code suggestions to the coders list. See links below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This component delivers information that you would normally see by typing:
|
|
|
|
/usr/platform/`uname -m`/sbin/prtdiag -v
|
|
|
|
At present this is only supported on the Ultra (sun4u) platform.
|
|
|
|
To display this information, net-snmp must be compiled with the option:
|
|
|
|
--with-mib-modules="ucd-snmp/lmSensors"
|
|
|
|
Early Ultra servers such as the Ultra 1 or Ultra 2 did not report
|
|
any sensor information at all. Later servers, such as the Enterprise 450
|
|
reported this information using kstat. Sun's latest servers make use
|
|
of the picld daemon to control system resources and report fan information.
|
|
This module reads in the information from picld. It cannot modify settings.
|
|
|
|
You can see this information by typing:
|
|
|
|
prtpicl -v | more
|
|
|
|

some sensor information is cached. Currently, information

10. MIB rewrites for IF-MIB, TCP-MIB and UDP-MIB
|
|
|
|
net-snmp 5.4 has started to include rewrites for the IF-MIB, TCP-MIB and
|
|
UDP-MIB implementations. They need to be explicitely enabled, though:
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-mfd-rewrites ...
|
|
|
|
See the Net-SNMP Wiki (http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/IF-MIB_rewrite)
|
|
for further details.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Sun for the excellent patches.

11. Files descriptors and fopen
|
|
|
|
Solaris has a limitation on the number of file descriptors (255)
|
|
available in stdio, so that fopen() fails if more than
|
|
255 file descriptors (sockets) are open. This prevents mibs from
|
|
being loaded after 250 sockets are open, since parse.c uses stdio.
|
|
|
|
SEan <burke_sp@pacbell.net> investigated this problem, and had this
|
|
report on using the SFIO package to solve this problem.
|
|
|
|
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
|
|
|
|
The SFIO package ( http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/sfio/ )
|
|
is a buffered streams IO package that is much more more sophisticated
|
|
than stdio, but it does support stdio API's for backward compatibility,
|
|
and that's the aspect that is important here.
|
|
|
|
To compile with SFIO, we simply add -I/usr/local/sfio/include to the
|
|
$CPPFLAGS before compiling net-snmp. This causes SFIO's stdio.h to
|
|
preempt Solaris stdio, mapping calls like fopen() and fprintf() to
|
|
the SFIO implementations. This produces a libnetsnmp that does not
|
|
have the fopen() limitation. Any application that links to this
|
|
libnetsnmp must also be linked to libsfio.
|
|
|
|
Here are the two caveats:
|
|
|
|
A. libsfio exports the functions 'getc' and 'putc', for reasons that
|
|
are not clear. These are the only symbols it exports that conflict
|
|
with stdio. While getc and putc are traditionally macros, Solaris
|
|
makes them functions in multithreaded code (compiled with -mt,
|
|
-pthread, or -D_REENTRANT). If your native stdio code links to the
|
|
libsfio versions, a crash will result.
|
|
|
|
There are two solutions to this problem. You may remove getc and putc
|
|
from libsfio, since SFIO defines getc and putc as macros, by doing:
|
|
|
|
ar d libsfio.a getc.o
|
|
ar d libsfio.a putc.o
|
|
|
|
or link to SFIO's stdio compatibility library, libstdio, ahead of
|
|
libsfio. This library wraps all of the native stdio calls with
|
|
versions that are safe for native or sfio streams, in case you
|
|
need to share streams between SFIO and native stdio codes.
|
|
|
|
B. libsfio provides 64-bit offsets in fseek(), ftell(). This is
|
|
a good thing, since SFIO is intended to avoid needless limitations,
|
|
but it means that SFIO's stdio.h defines off_t to be a 64-bit offset.
|
|
Net-SNMP uses readdir(), which returns a struct dirent containing
|
|
a 32-bit off_t, so the code compiled for SFIO doesn't access
|
|
struct dirent's correctly.
|
|
|
|
There are two solutions to this problem, as well. The first is to
|
|
include <dirent.h> at the start of SFIO's stdio.h. Since SFIO
|
|
defines a macro substitution for off_t, this leaves struct dirent's
|
|
definition unchanged.
|
|
|
|
An alternative, which I haven't verified, is to define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
|
|
to be 64 when compiling libnetsnmp. According to what I see in Solaris's
|
|
/usr/include/sys/feature_tests.h, you can select a 64-bit off_t at
|
|
compile time with this setting, which should make readdir()'s off_t
|
|
compatible with SFIO's ftell(), fseek().
|
|
[[ We have received reports that this approach does not in fact work
|
|
(see Perl discussion below)]]
|
|
|
|
Finally, thanks to Phong Vo and AT&T Labs for a fast, robust and
|
|
portable package that solves this headache very neatly.

12. Perl
|
|
|
|
Net-SNMP may be compiled with Perl support by configuring like:
|
|
|
|
./configure -enable-embedded-perl ...
|
|
|
|
This should only be done if you are sure you really need Perl,
|
|
for the following reasons:
|
|
|
|
Solaris 8 and later ship with a version of Perl compiled using Sun's cc.
|
|
|
|
This causes a problem when attempting to compile net-snmp
|
|
with Perl functionality ie.:
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-mib-modules="ucd-snmp/lmSensors ucd-snmp/diskio \
|
|
smux mibII/mta_sendmail" --enable-embedded-perl
|
|
|
|
because during the Perl section of the compile, it attempts to do so
|
|
using the methodology used to compile the original Perl, not
|
|
what you're currently using. This can be discovered by typing:
|
|
|
|
perl -V
|
|
|
|
and it says (among other things)
|
|
|
|
Compiler:
|
|
cc='cc'
|
|
|
|
and you don't have the full version of Sun's C compiler on your
|
|
system, it's going to break.
|
|
|
|
In addition if it was compiled with:
|
|
|
|
LFS_CFLAGS -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
|
|
|
|
net-snmp will not compile correctly.
|
|
|
|
Given that the Perl provided with Solaris 8 (5.005_03) and Solaris 9
|
|
(5.005_03 and 5.6.1) is somewhat stale, upgrading may be to your advantage.
|
|
|
|
Perl did not ship with Solaris before version 8. If you installed a
|
|
version from www.sunfreeware.com, it is compiled with some extra flags
|
|
that cause the net-snmp compile to break.
|
|
|
|
In either case, you will need to compile and install Perl.
|
|
|
|
There are, however, some issues.
|
|
|
|
A. Some applications (eg. /usr/bin/kstat) require this exact version
|
|
of Perl because of libraries. These instructions below install Perl
|
|
in /usr/local/bin (and optionally /usr/bin/). The original is left
|
|
intact in /usr/perl5/bin/perl where, in fact, the kstat script looks
|
|
for it. If you have version specific scripts, you will need to do
|
|
the same either by invoking /usr/perl5/bin/perl or putting:
|
|
|
|
#!/usr/perl/bin/perl -w
|
|
|
|
as the first line of your script and making it executable
|
|
(see the /usr/bin/kstat source as an example).
|
|
|
|
B. The instructions below disable large file support.
|
|
|
|
This means that Perl would be unable to deal
|
|
successfully with files larger than 2 Gb.
|
|
Again, using /usr/perl5/bin/perl or a version compiled
|
|
with this functionality would solve this.
|
|
|
|
Hence the ideal solution is a net-snmp specific Perl in its own directory.
|
|
|
|
The following instructions will install a working Perl in /usr/local/net-snmp.
|
|
|
|
Install gcc version 3.3.2 (or later) from www.sunfreeware.com.
|
|
|
|
Download the current stable release of Perl
|
|
|
|
http://www.cpan.org/src/stable.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
and gunzip and untar. (This document assumes Perl 5.8.3 or later)
|
|
|
|
cd to the source directory and type the following:
|
|
|
|
sh Configure -Dcc=gcc -Dprefix=/usr/local/net-snmp -Uinstallusrbinperl \
|
|
-Duseshrplib -Dcf_email=your_email@your_domain \
|
|
-Dperladmin=your_email@your_domain -Uuselargefiles -de
|
|
|
|
Replace your_email@your_domain by your real email address. If you intend
|
|
to compile Net-SNMP with Sun cc later on, replace gcc with cc above.
|
|
|
|
When it is finished, do:
|
|
|
|
grep cppsymbols config.sh
|
|
|
|
and make sure "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" does NOT appear.
|
|
|
|
Then do:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
make test (optional)
|
|
make install
|
|
/usr/local/net-snmp/bin/perl -V
|
|
|
|
if everything looks all right, compile net-snmp (see above) with the
|
|
following differences:
|
|
|
|
env PERLPROG=/usr/local/net-snmp/bin/perl ./configure --enable-embedded-perl \
|
|
--with-mib-modules=ucd-snmp/lmSensors,ucd-snmp/diskio,smux,mibII/mta_sendmail \
|
|
--with-cc=gcc && make && make test && make install
|
|
|
|
Make sure you specify the correct path to your self-compiled Perl binary
|
|
and use the same compiler like the one you used when building Perl above.
|
|
Feel free to add other configure options, of course.
|
|
|
|
"make test" includes some tests for the Net-SNMP Perl functionalities.
|
|
|
|
Once you have compiled and installed net-snmp you can test the Perl
|
|
capabilities of the final installation by doing the following:
|
|
|
|
Copy the perl_module.pl script found at
|
|
|
|
http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/toolkit/perl/index.html
|
|
|
|
to /usr/local/net-snmp
|
|
|
|
and modify your /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf file to contain the entry:
|
|
|
|
perl do "/usr/local/net-snmp/perl_module.pl";
|
|
|
|
then do:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/bin/snmpwalk -v 2c -c whatever localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.999
|
|
|
|
It should return the following:
|
|
|
|
NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmp.999.1.2.1 = STRING: "hello world"
|
|
|
|
WARNING!! If you are planning on creating binary versions of net-snmp with
|
|
Perl capability, you will also need to ship the Perl which you created in
|
|
/usr/local/net-snmp.

13. sed
|
|
|
|
Various sed versions in older Solaris releases (Solaris 8 and earlier
|
|
at least) have serious limitations that may affect ./configure
|
|
when building net-snmp. All these issues *should* have been addressed
|
|
in net-snmp 5.4 and later. If you still have problems, please let us know
|
|
and consider:
|
|
|
|
- installing GNU sed and putting it in front of your PATH
|
|
- installing the available Sun patches for the various sed versions
|
|
(/usr/bin/sed, /usr/xpg4/bin/sed, /usr/ucb/sed)
|
|
- try the suggestions below
|
|
|
|
The version of sed in /usr/ucb on Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6 can't
|
|
cope with the size of the substitution strings used in config.status.
|
|
|
|
Putting /usr/bin ahead of /usr/ucb in the search path fixes this.
|
|
|
|
/usr/xpg4/bin/sed is seen to segfault under Solaris 8 when running configure.
|
|
Putting /usr/bin ahead of /usr/xpg4/bin fixes this.

14. OpenSSL and crle
|
|
|
|
If compiling with OpenSSL (e.g. from sunsolve), it's possible that
|
|
the agent won't successfully load the crypto library (typically
|
|
in /usr/local/ssl/lib) when it is in use and will return a
|
|
cannot find library error message of some sort.
|
|
|
|
To rectify this, you will need to use the /usr/bin/crle command, which
|
|
did NOT ship with some versions of Solaris, but came as part of later
|
|
patches. You should make sure the following patches are up to date:
|
|
|
|
107733 (Solaris 2.6)
|
|
106950 (Solaris 2.7)
|
|
109147 (Solaris 8)
|
|
115833 (Trusted Solaris 8)
|
|
112693 (Solaris 9)
|
|
|
|
Then type the following:
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/crle
|
|
|
|
It will return something like:
|
|
|
|
Default configuration file (/var/ld/ld.config) not found
|
|
Default Library Path (ELF): /usr/lib (system default)
|
|
Trusted Directories (ELF): /usr/lib/secure (system default)
|
|
|
|
Find the location of the libcrypto libraries by typing:
|
|
|
|
find /usr -name "libcrypto*" -print
|
|
|
|
which will probably display:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a
|
|
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so
|
|
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0
|
|
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
|
|
|
|
which is the default installation for OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
To include this in the loader search path, type:
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/crle -u -l /usr/local/ssl/lib
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/crle will now display:
|
|
|
|
Configuration file [3]: /var/ld/ld.config
|
|
Default Library Path (ELF): /usr/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
|
|
Trusted Directories (ELF): /usr/lib/secure (system default)
|
|
|
|
Command line:
|
|
crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /usr/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
|
|
|
|
If this fails, usually by displaying:
|
|
|
|
crle: /var/ld/ld.config: open failed: No such file or directory
|
|
|
|
you will need to create this directory by hand by doing the following:
|
|
|
|
mkdir /var/ld
|
|
cd /var/ld
|
|
ln -s . 32
|
|
mkdir sparcv9
|
|
chgrp bin sparcv9
|
|
ln -s sparcv9 64
|
|
touch ld.config
|
|
|
|
then do:
|
|
|
|
crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /usr/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
|
|

15. IPv6
|
|
|
|
Starting with net-snmp 5.4 you can enable the UDPIPv6 and TCPIPv6
|
|
transports on Solaris:
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-ipv6
|
|
|
|
There's no support for the mibII/ipv6 mib module, though.

16. Wish list
|
|
|
|
A. Code cleanup
|
|
|
|
There may be opportunities for shared code between UCD-SNMP
|
|
and HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.
|
|
|
|
There may be opportunities to optimize caching perhaps
|
|
using the new auto-caching code.
|
|
|
|
B. LM-SENSORS-MIB
|
|
|
|
We need a complete list of sensors from various platforms so
|
|
they can be displayed properly.
|
|
|
|
C. ORACLE
|
|
|
|
How to get ORACLE's SNMP functionality to work as a sub-agent.
|
|
|
|
D. Largefile support
|
|
|
|
Rework the host mib module to work even if net-snmp is built with
|
|
largefile support. This would eliminate the most important problems
|
|
with Perl (see section 12).

17. Known Bugs!!
|
|
|
|
A. hrDeviceTable (HOST-RESOURCES-MIB)
|
|
|
|
This section of code is only aware of disk controllers 0 through 7.
|
|
Hence, anything on controller c8 and above will be invisible.
|
|
|
|
B. hrPartitionTable (HOST-RESOURCES-MIB)
|
|
|
|
At present, hrPartitionSize data only works for regular ufs
|
|
partitions eg. /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 that are mounted. They
|
|
are displayed in partition order rather than the order
|
|
they are mounted. Partitions mounted as mirrors, metastate
|
|
database replicas, swap or members of a RAID display size 0.
|
|
|
|
As a workaround, put entries for disks you are
|
|
interested in in snmpd.conf and examine
|
|
using UCD-SNMP-MIB.
