Harendra,
Check for SNMP agents supplied with the OS or by the hardware
manufacturer. Most will detect hardware faults and send traps. Dell,
HP, and IBM all supply a sub-agent that will alarm on virtually any
hardware fault.
If that is not available, consider using the agent "Arbitrary Extension
Commands" function. I have never used them for traps, so it may not be
appropriate.
If you can detect the hardware fault with a script (you could have it
poll every couple of seconds), then you can have that script execute an
snmptrap command with a "fake" OID that your management system will
recognize. This method means you don't have to write a subagent.
An expert like Dave Shield could probably comment on the viability of
this option.
Good luck.

Subject: How to write a code to send a trap when we remove power cable?
Hi All,
I am using suse linux and I snmpd as master agent. I want to write a
sub-agent which sends trap upon removing one power cable(there are two
slots available both can be connected at the same time). Thanks in
advance.
Thanks,
Harendra
