OpenBSD & Net SNMP Integration with HP OpenView Network Node Manager

 

            This document assumes you have properly setup Net SNMP from the OpenBSD packages or compiled it from the source.  Also I am running OpenView NNM 7.01 but I'm assuming it will work with older versions as well as 7.5.

 

1. Create a symbol registration file in $OV_CONF/oid_to_sym_reg/001_HP/ called 002_HP_NETSNMP
2. Insert the following line in it:

1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.12:Computer:openbsd # NET-SNMP (UCD-SNMP) agenT

3. On your OpenBSD box be sure and put sysobjectid 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.12 in the snmpd.conf file as some implementations of Net SNMP may report 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.255 and mess NNM up.  Then restart snmpd on the OpenBSD box to reflect the sysObjectID changes made.
4. Create a file called Computer_openbsd in $OV_SYMBOLS/C/Computer/ with the following data in it:

SymbolType "Computer" : "openbsd"

{

Filebase "openbsd";

CursorSize 38;

Capabilities {

isWorkstation= 1;

}

}

5. Extract the file openbsd-NNM-bitmaps.tar in $OV_BITMAPS/C/computer/
6. Extract the file openbsd-NNM-www.tar in $OV_WWW/htdocs/bitmaps/C/computer/ which places the gif files on the NNM web server for use by Network Presenter
7. Restart the OpenView NNM server by issuing $OV_BIN/ovstop and $OV_BIN/ovstart
8. Rediscover your OpenBSD boxes by going to Fault à Network Connectivity à Poll Node and that should find them and put in the new icons
