Yes,

i believed that under point 5 i could activated the index load
5:  Monitor Various Aspects of the Running Host

but it is for sending traps out.
and
Host Resources Processor Table Information
  Index Load
stays empty

Have you tried using snmpconf to setup your config files?

Right, thanks. That shows nothing.
I've never seen anything like that. According to page 12 of the HOWTO
 the `cmaidad` agent collects data from
cciss/cpqarray drivers, so surely that hadles everything for me?
`cmaidad` is running, and I believe my SCSI array is of the cciss 
type.
Looking at the docs, maybe you need an SNMP agent running for the peer
agents to send information to? I say this because of this quote:
"During installation, the Peer Agents are configured to start
automatically when the SNMP agent is running. Linux run-level
configuration tools can be used to change Peer Agent configurations. 
They
should be started after the SNMP agent snmpd is started and should be
killed after snmpd is killed."

This seems to imply that there should be an snmpd-type process running.
It looks like I've been completely misunderstanding this. I don't 
really understand how the peer agents communicate with the SNMP agents, 
in that case.

I'll have another go at this later today. Since I know you've worked 
with Proliants before I was figuring you wouldn't need to look at the 
docs - maybe I'll post any future questions to the HP Forums. Thanks 
for your help.

Sure, you can have it listen (UDP port 162) for SNMP traps - but you will
need something to send traps to it since it is passive.

Is the RAID array done in hardware?
Yes, it's a Proliant 6500.
If it is, then maybe there is
something you can set in the RAID BIOS to enable SNMP monitoring?

Does anyone have a simple configuration, please, to log everything 
from
the HP agents to a the snmptrapd log - I think that once I understand
how to do that, shifting notifications to email should be pretty easy,
but at the moment I don't really have a clue what an SNMP "community"
is.
A community string is basically like a password - you set it on the
service being monitored so SNMP software with the string can connect 
and
query...
Right so my agents configuration is like this:
$ sudo cat /etc/hpasmrc
# install mode
export CMASILENT="YES"
# kernel version
export CMAKERNELVERSION="2.6.11-gentoo-r4"
#local rw community string
export CMALOCALHOSTRWCOMMSTR="proliant"
#local ro community string
export CMALOCALHOSTROCOMMSTR=""
#rw authorized management stations (multiples allowed)
export CMAMGMTSTATIONRWIPORDNS="127.0.0.1"
#rw authorized mangamane station community string (multiplies allowed)
export CMAMGMTSTATIONRWCOMMSTR="proliant"
...
How do I get `snmptrapd` to query this community? Is that the right 
thing to do?
Thanks for your help,

Stroller.
