New Features and Fixes 8. Supported Products ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Introduction The "Compaq Server Agents - Linux" software release contains Server Agents program and related files for Linux. The Compaq Server Agents take advantage of the systems management capabilities of Compaq servers. This release supports, Red Hat Linux 7.2 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 (SLES-7). 2. Documentation Updates and Corrections This section contains information on known errors and omissions in other documentation. The information in this section is more up-to-date than that in other documentation. 3. Known Issues 3.1 The following MIBs are not reported correctly by the cmastdeqd agent for the newer DL and ML series SMBIOS servers: 3.2.1 cpqHeIRC MIB - Integrated Remote Console status 1) 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.1.0.1 4. Supported Linux Installations Following Linux installations are supported by this release: a. Red Hat Linux 7.2 Server default installation. Note: If default "High" or "Medium" firewall configuration was selected during the installation of Red Hat Linux 7.2, external SNMP requests will be "REJECTED" by the system and the server will become unmanageable. There are significant security implications to configuring firewall and the ipfw(4), ipchains(8), ipchains-save(8) and ipchains-restore(8) manpages should be regarded as mandatory reading before making any change to firewall configuration. The system should start "ACCEPT"ing SNMP requests (e.g. from CIM or other management consoles) with following command: %ipchains -I input -s 16.101.168.68/255.255.255.255 \ -d 16.101.169.69/255.255.255.255 161:161 \ -i eth0 -p udp -j ACCEPT Where 1. "16.101.168.68" is the IP Address of remote system running management console (or issuing SNMP requests) 2. "16.101.169.69" is the IP Address of the interface "eth0" of the server running Red Hat Linux 7.1/7.2. c. SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 (SLES-7) installations plus "ucdsnmp" RPMs. 6. Installing Server Agents for Red Hat Linux 7.2 6.1 Before Installation - Red Hat Linux 7.2 a. "Compaq Server Agents - Linux" requires following binary RPMs: Compaq Foundation Agent RPM Version 5.40.0 (cmafdtn-5.40.0.i386.rpm) - please check Compaq Foundation Agent dependencies at the foundation agent readme file. Available from http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/index.html. Compaq Remote Insight Driver RPM: Version 2.3.0 (cpqrid-2.3.0-x.Redhat7_2.i386.rpm ) Available from http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/index.html. b. The UCD snmpd Start script "/etc/init.d/snmpd" should be turned on under one or more runlevels of 2, 3, 4 and 5. /sbin/chkconfig tool can be used. E.g. "/sbin/chkconfig --level 3 snmpd on". If "snmpd" is not turned on at any runlevel, the Server Agents RPM post installation script will automatically turn it on at default boot runlevel based on the /etc/inittab configuration (see "man inittab"). 6.2 Installing Server Agents from RPM - Red Hat Linux 7.2 Log in as "root", then use following command to install Server Agents from RPM: %rpm -Uvh cmasvr-5.40.0-X.i386.rpm 6.3 Installing Server Agents from Compaq Management CD - Red Hat Linux 7.2 a. Insert the Compaq Management CD into CD-ROM drive and log in as "root" user. b. Mount the Compaq Management CD at the directory /mnt/cdrom using following command: %mount /dev/cdrom c. Install Server Agents using following command: %rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/agents/linux/eng/compaq/cmasvr/cmasvr.rpm d. Un-mount the Compaq Management CD: %cd / %umount /dev/cdrom e. Remove the Compaq Management CD from CD-ROM drive. 6.4 After Installation - Red Hat 7.2 Note: There are significant security implications to configuring "snmpd.conf", and the snmp_config(5) and snmpd.conf(5) manpages should be regarded as mandatory reading before proceeding. a. SNMP configuration files ("snmpd.conf") need to be configured properly. An example snmpd.conf can be found at /opt/compaq/foundation/etc/snmpd.conf.cma. Read the comments in "snmpd.conf.cma" for more information on customization and installation. Please note that "/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf" is the first configuration file to be read by "snmpd". b. Compaq Management Agents will use "rocommunity" and "rwcommunity" entries to obtain community strings. At minimum, localhost SNMP READ privilege is required. For example, rocommunity YourReadStr 127.0.0.1 Localhost SNMP WRITE(SET) privilege is required if you like to enable Web agent with SET capability or to perform SETs through Remote Insight Board. For example, rwcommunity YourWriteStr 127.0.0.1 Compaq Management Agents will refer to "trapcommunity" and "trapsink" entries for Trap destinations and community string. For examples: trapcommunity defaulttrapcomm trapsink 127.0.0.1 mytrapcomm trapsink 131.168.11.2 d. Start the Server agents % /etc/init.d/cmasvr start If "snmpd" is not running, start it with following command: % /etc/init.d/snmpd start e. Optionally, install other Compaq Management Agents for Servers packages Compaq Storage Agents - Linux (cmastor) Compaq NIC Agents - Linux (cmanic) 7. Installing Server Agents for SuSE Linux Enterprises Server 7 (SLES-7) 7.1 Before Installation - SLES-7 a. "Compaq Server Agents - Linux" requires following binary RPMs: Compaq Foundation Agent RPM Version 5.40.0 (cmasvr-5.40.0.i386.rpm) - please check Compaq Foundation Agent dependencies at the Foundation Agent readme file; Available from http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/index.html. Compaq Remote Insight Driver RPM: Version 2.3.0 (cpqrid-2.3.0-3.SLES7.i386.rpm) Available from http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/index.html. b. The UCD snmpd Start script "/etc/init.d/snmpd" should be turned on under one or more runlevels of 2, 3, 4 and 5. If "snmpd" is not turned on at any runlevel, the Server Agents RPM post installation script will automatically turn it on at default boot runlevel based on the /etc/inittab configuration (see "man inittab"). NOTE: For SuSE SLES-7 with ucdsnmp-4.2.1, the snmpd is NOT configured to start automatically during boot by default. The automatic startup of snmpd can be turned on by editing /etc/rc.config and changing the value of "START_SNMPD" to "yes". The Server Agents RPM installation script will turn on the snmpd automatic startup if it had not been done so. 7.2 Installing Server Agents from RPM - SLES-7 Log in as "root", then use following command to install Server Agents from RPM: %rpm -Uvh cmasvr-5.40.0-X.i386.rpm 7.3 Installing Server Agents from Compaq Management CD - SLES-7 a. Insert the Compaq Management CD into CD-ROM drive and log in as "root" user. b. Mount the Compaq Management CD at the directory /cdrom using following command: %mount /dev/cdrom c. Install Server Agents using following command: %rpm -Uvh /cdrom/agents/linux/eng/compaq/cmasvr/cmasvr.rpm d. Un-mount the Compaq Management CD: %cd / %umount /dev/cdrom e. Remove the Compaq Management CD from CD-ROM drive. 7.4 After Installation - SLES-7 Note: There are significant security implications to configuring "snmpd.conf", and the snmp_config(5) and snmpd.conf(5) manpages should be regarded as mandatory reading before proceeding. a. SNMP configuration files ("snmpd.conf") need to be configured properly. An example snmpd.conf can be found at /opt/compaq/foundation/etc/snmpd.conf.cma. Read the comments in "snmpd.conf.cma" for more information on customization and installation. Please note that "/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf " is the first configuration file to be read by "snmpd". NOTE: For SuSE SLES-7, the /etc/init.d/snmpd will start "snmpd" with following flags: "-c /etc/ucdsnmpd.conf -f -L -A" We recommend that you edit the /etc/init.d/snmpd and remove all flags above. Read "snmpd", "snmp_config" and "snmpd.conf" manpages before making the changes. b. Compaq Management Agents will use "rocommunity" and "rwcommunity" entries to obtain community strings. At minimum, localhost SNMP READ privilege is required. For example, rocommunity YourReadStr 127.0.0.1 Localhost SNMP WRITE(SET) privilege is required if you like to enable Web agent with SET capability or to perform SETs through Remote Insight Board.
